Do we...

Eze 33:31  And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

Rom 10:3  For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

Luk 21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Luk 21:35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luk 21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Joh 6:27  Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

1Co 9:24  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1Co 9:25  And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
1Co 9:26  I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
1Co 9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Php 2:12  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Php 2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Heb 4:9  There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb 4:11  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

We hear words- but do we do them?
Do our hearts go after covetousness, while we speak the love of our God?
Do we try to establish OUR righteousness, or submit ourselves to the righteousness of God?
Do we take heed to ourselves?
Do we examine ourselves - trying to comprehend if our hearts are overcharged with over eating, drunkenness, cares of this life?
Do we pray always to be accounted worthy?
Do we pray to escape all that will come to pass?
Do we pray that we will stand before the Son of man?
Do we labor for meat that ENDURES to everlasting life?
Do we run the race so we may obtain the prize?
Are we temperate in ALL things to obtain an INCORRUPTIBLE crown?
Do we keep our bodies under subjection?
Do we obey?
Do we work out our own salvation- with fear and trembling- knowing God works IN US to will and do HIS good pleasure?
Do we labor to enter into that rest even as we cease from our own works? We must not fall under the example of UNBELIEF- that those who do not enter that rest of God's.

Do we let God work in us?

More on this tomorrow by the grace and will of our Lord God.

In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ our LORD! Now and forever.

Amen.
