Are You a Pretender?

““Great blessings belong to those who have washed their robes. They will have the right to eat the food from the tree of life. They can go through the gates into the city. Outside the city are all those who live like dogs—those who do evil magic, those who sin sexually, those who murder, those who worship idols, and those who love to lie and pretend to be good.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22:14-15‬ ‭ERV‬‬

Because I read through the Bible every year, this is what I always read on December 31...every single year. It occurred to me that I should share this truth to all who will listen.

There will be a time when our lives will be judged. There will be a time when all the pretending will be over. These verses state that outside the city will be the pretenders. Those that worship idols. There are a lot of idol worshippers in America. A lot of people worship the material things that the world offers. Can I lay these down and be satisfied with what God provides? Can I be happy with the 90% that I need to live on? Tenth percent is His, rest is ours.

A lot of people living in America are living in sexual sin and pretend that it is okay. More pretending. Some say that they can be in love with the Lord and they are awaiting His return but they do not try obey what is in His word. We are either in love with Him and want to run after Him or we are not. There will be a day when all the pretending will be over. Let today be the day when you get sick of living the lie.
