WHO DO YOU REPRESENT?

Whether you realize it, you were created to represent God. Every person past or present was created by God to be His representative here on earth. The Scriptures makes it clear as to your responsibility to our Heavenly Father. As I have stated before, you cannot serve two masters. Matthew 6:24 (NIV) “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Is the prevalence of sin in our society becoming an influence regarding who we represent? False teachers have been around for generations and spreading lies about how we can live. There is a modern day theory that preaching a “feel good sermon” is the way to go. Don’t be misled by false teachings. Are you living a life that everything you say and everything you do is within the will of God?

Let us look at a few Bible verse that relate to our lead in question.

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 (NIV) ²⁰ we are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

1 Timothy 4:1 (NIV) The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

John 1:12-13 (NIV) ¹² Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God

John 15:16 (NIV) ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

God’s love for you is beyond our understanding. He gave up His Son as a sacrifice so that you have an opportunity to be with Him in Heaven and He would call you one of His children. Although we are created by God, He gave us a free will so that we have a choice who we will represent. In order for you to be one of God’s children, you must receive Jesus Christ as your Savior and believe in Him. No one can come to God except through Jesus. In the Gospel of John, 3:3 and 14:6 are verses that teach God’s will for everyone regardless of who you may be. If you are not a representative of God, free yourself from trying to serve two masters and let Jesus lead you. Don’t let Satan steal from you all that God wants you to have through his lies and deceitful ways. Love to all.
