To be a Christ follower means to give up worldly desires and commit to being faithful to God's Word. In the Old Testament the Jews had to be circumcised as a symbol of their relationship with God. Today Baptism is a symbol of the relationship we have with Christ . The symbols are not recognized by God as a means to enter Heaven. They have always been seen as the decision to be a faithful follower of Jesus.

What is just or unjust- Man can see sin in the law that God wrote in our hearts. Because we are made in the image of God we have a basic sense of right and wrong. In the final day God will judge mankind by his thoughts, his heart and his soul. All men will admit they have sinned against our Lord.

Jesus Christ offers us peace and joy if we abide in Him. Christ tells us be holy, for I am holy. Many will have a knowledge of Christ but do not know Him. We must be obedient to His word and live our lives according to His will. Then as we walk with Jesus we will experience the promises given in His word.

We must submit our lives to Christ. In John 8-31, Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him,-If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The only thing that matters to the Lord is if you have a genuine relationship with Him.

What we seek and what we do determines the end of our life. As we follow and grow in Christ we must be about glorifying God. How do I glorify Him- We must be active in our heart, body, and mind. We are the salt and light of the world. Those around us should see God in us. 1 Corinthians 10-23-33 -All things are lawful but not all things are helpful. Therefore, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do , do all to the glory of God.-

All humanity fits into two groups. Sheep and goats or wheat and tares are believers and non believers. Non believers are self seeking gratifying the things they seek. Believers should seek glory, honor and the immortality of God. We as believers are determined by what we seek and do. By continuing in persistent seeking of Godly ways determines our final destination. Our heart reveals our faith.

Are you living a transparent life- We are accountable to God. We cannot diminish Gods truth in Scripture. We should seek His word to work out our Salvation. 1 Timothy 1-15, -This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.-

Depravity is seen in man when he exchanges the truth of God for a lie. Homosexuality is a sign of the culture perverting normal relations for degrading intimate relationships. Romans 1-28- And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge. God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting.- As society is becoming more depraved they are ignoring the existence of Him. We are living in a society that does not know true love. Our culture has forgotten about God.

When we exchange the truth for a lie we have immorality in the form of homosexuality. In John8- 31-36 it states, - If you are my disciples then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.- Christianity means freedom from habitual sin. If we abide in His word then we shall be free.

Man suppresses the truth of God. But man is without excuse because they have the knowledge within. We see His wrath in nature. Yet man continues to suppress the truth by living the life of idolatry. There is an exchange from man to change who God is. If we do not turn away from our sin God will give our pagan hearts over to uncleanness.
