Morally Right Lives

Jude 1:4 NLT 
I say this because some ungodly people have wormed their way into your churches, saying that God's marvelous grace allows us to live immoral lives. The condemnation of such people was recorded long ago, for they have denied our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

If they took down all the speed limit signs on the highway would it be lawful for us to go as fast as we wanted? Of course not. The speed limit is the same even if you don't see the sign. If you do not think so just try going as fast as you want. When you get pulled over explain that you did not see the sign and see how that works for you.

By God's grace we are saved. It is not a get of out jail free card. Jesus came to fulfill the law, but not to abolish it. We still have to live an upstanding life guided by His laws. Because of His grace we will not be judged worthy based on our living up to the law. However, grace does not give us a license to blatantly ignore Him and do whatever we want.

His commandments show us how to live a morally right life. The world shows us what it thinks is morally right. The world's view on morality changes like the wind. What was good years ago is the opposite today. More and more we see our society shifting away from God. Let us not do the same. There is no shifting with God. What He established years ago stands firm today.

"Father, help me to stand on your Word in all I do here on earth. Holy Spirit guide me into each day and help be be ready to be the Light of Jesus to all I come in contact with. In Jesus name I pray."
