Pointing Fingers at others

 

There are so many people that doesn't have God in their life, that is going around pointing fingers at others, and saying things like: am glad am not like that drunkard, wife beater, prostitute, homosexual, fornicator, liar, or etc... For people who are going around and doing this, they should know that they are no better then the ones they are speaking bad about, because they themselves are under the same condemnation as those same people that they are pointing fingers at.

 

So let me tell you something, the only thing that can make a person better or that is better off then another, is by one coming to the knowledge of the truth, which is in God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ, and believes on Him, and is saved, then yes, they then become better, because they are no longer under condemnation, but under grace.

 

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

 

But at the same time;, we that are under grace shouldn't go around boasting in a way that may make it seem that we by our own power, or own goodness, is what lead us to be saved, because it was all about God's grace and mercy, and by the power of His Holy Spirit that draw us to His Son Jesus Christ, so that we were able to be saved.

 

Ephesians 2:8-9 by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

 

So no one is better then another, being apart from Jesus Christ. Because the Bible says: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

 

Now if you're a person that knows deep inside that you're not saved, and now realize that you do come short of the glory of God, there is good news for you. Because I believe God's Holy Spirit has already started working His Holy Spirit conviction with-in you. And am believing and praying, that by God's grace, that you will be able to come to know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

 

Romans 3:22-26 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
