Ignoring God Leads To Death

Host Jeannette Washington talks about something that's been on her heart. Ignoring God. She explains what it means when we ignore God and Ignore his Word. There is no excuse for not knowing that there is a God. Creations Testifies that there is. God has left us instructions in his holy scriptures that will lead you to him. Romans chapter One, tells us the righteous will live by faith. The bible say those who pratice righteous are righteous. God wants us to read his word so our lives can be transformed. Romans 1:18 tells us what brings the wrath of God upon us and stop us from entering into the kingdom of God. God and his word are inseparable. God gave us his laws and command to keep us safe. He is not trying to stop us from having fun. He say He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. We can't choose whether or not we suffer consequences. They are built into his laws. The effect of God's laws cannot be avoided. If you do the crime you pay the penalty. The belief that God's laws prevent us from receiving the best things of life is also a false understanding of the nature of law. God's laws are good and they are for our benefit. When we live withing the bounds and limitations of God's law we are kept safe. Nothing can function at it's full performance if it violates God's law. God has a purpose and a plan for our life.
