Are we representing what we really believe or is it that we have changed beliefs?


 
Most of us act the way we believe we should no matter the opinion of other people. Of course, the people who like to be on the right side of the Law try to behave accordingly. Those who only think of themselves do what pleases them. There are those who live a double life because they do not want the other people to know their real feeling because it would be dangerous or harmful to their life like it happens in some countries where the “political” issue is the main theme and nobody can differ from the ones in power to not be considered a traitor to the “Common Cause” which I call tyranny. People who live under that stress might not be faithful to their own belief or have probably changed it. It could be they get tired of the double standard and start looking for justifications to what they try to portray, to not look so inconsistent; those, of course are believed to have a weak foundation and are capable of anything, especially if someone with a bad intention becomes their buddy and influences their behavior, greatly. Beware of them buddies, they’re only thinking on themselves. They will forsake you as soon as you get in trouble for listening to them.  You, then, will suffer the consequences of being betrayed by your new buddies who won’t be around anymore and then you’d wish had never listened to them. Is it too late?
For some it could be too late and will lose it all. If we have changed the true faith for a “fairy tale” and persist in it, will surely be too late, but if in our anguish we truly repent from any wrong doing, weakness or bad intentions to improperly gain any kind of advantages by damaging someone else, there could be surprises. The Scriptures says: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I John 1.9)  That is why we cannot judge anyone due to his/her behavior because we do not know if he/she would truly repent and God forgives him/her. Those, then become related to the Lord and if we wish them bad is like wishing the Lord the same. Remember He said: Truly I say to you to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me. (Matthew 25.40) That is why we should love one another like Jesus asked us to.  Has someone hurt us that bad that we want to hurt them back? The solution is on the Scriptures: “Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that your opponent may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent.”( Matthew 5.25,26 )
In this life we have many problems because we are NOT perfect due to the sinful nature we carry, but the way we choose to live our life will either help us live or drawn us forever. If we choose the right path, our obstacles will serve as lessons to be better, if not, they will make us go farther in depth until there’s no way out.
Think of it and if you’re smart you will follow Jesus’ teachings on the Sermon of the Mount  you will find it in the Scriptures first book of the New Testament, Matthew, from the 5th chapter on and you’ll see why He’s the true and firm foundation anybody can build a good life  for his loved ones. He said:
          “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.”(Matthew 7. 24,25)
A wise man also said: “Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished, but the descendants of the righteous WILL be delivered.”(Proverbs 11.21)
Seek the TRUTH and it shall make you free
            HAPPY 4TH OF JULY
