Recently while driving my car I nearly had an accident,but thankfully I didn't, if it had happened it would have been my fault.What I think is very important that one should live prayerfully,that does not mean we act foolishly,we should always act responsibly. Here is a very important consideration,we should not put God to the test,we see this when our Saviour was taken by Satan to the highest point of the temple. ( Matthew 4 v 5 - 7 )This is what he said to our Saviour, ''If you are the Son of God'', throw yourself down. For it is written;He will command his angels concerning you,and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone'.he quoted the scripture,Psalm 91v 11-12.,bear that in mind,the next you face cults or even false religions.Satan used it as a pretence, he was trying to undermine the truth of the deity of Christ,that is big thing with false religions they take great offence at this beware of this, John said he wrote his gospel,that we may believe that Jesus is the Messiah ,the Son of God,and that believing we may have life in His name ( John 20 v31) Remember what our Saviour said as regards the the devil, in John 8 v 44.'He was a murderer from the beginning not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies'.Consider whom Jesus was saying this to,the religious leaders of his day and telling them clearly that the devil was their father.Truth is important our very standing with God ,and our eternal destiny, depends on it. We will continue this next time.
