🌧️Do You Know Why🌈

 When you know your WHY

you’ll know your WAY.

Michael Hyayy

Colossians 4:5 (KJV) Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

Colossians 4:6 (KJV) Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Why is it so important that we know why we believe what we believe?  All believe in something even if it’s wrong. Just because one believes doesn’t make it a correct belief. That is why Paul  said for us to examine ourselves.

2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJV) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 

 This is not guest work, ask yourself questions, look over your life, prove yourself. 

• Question one: Do you have “faith?” 

Faith in Jesus Christ as the savior of your soul? where do you think you go when death comes knocking on your door? 

• Question two: What kind of proof do you have?
• Question Three: Don’t you know your own self?

This is too important of a matter to just let it go. My dad would say to me sometimes when punishing me “I want you to think about what you have done!” Paul says there is a three question exam, now think. 

• Do you have Faith? 
• What is the proof of your Faith? 
• Do you know yourself? Who are you really?  

Was there a time when you knew you were a sinner? Was there ever a time when you asked Jesus Christ to forgive you? It was a last minute decision for a man dying one day outside the city of Jerusalem. 

Luke 23:39 (KJV) And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

Luke 23:40 (KJV) But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

One of the criminals insulted Jesus. But the other criminal said to him: "Don't you fear God at all? Don't you see and understand we are condemned? We will die today!

Luke 23:42 (KJV) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

Many think that their sins are too many, too awful and why would God even care. After all I have done and been a part of, forgive me? Fat chance of that ever happening. Oh no it’s not, here we read of 2 men and both are dying a slow death. Then one of those men realizes he can be forgiven and simply asks for forgiveness with a true heart. What was the answer from Jesus Christ Himself? 

Luke 23:43 (KJV) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

What? Are you kidding me? No it’s true. The problem with most is that they tell themselves that what they have done was not that bad. I mean compared to others. That is not wise thinking.

2 Corinthians 10:12 (KJV) For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

Do you know who you are? Do you really know? Is what we read in the Bible true? How do you know? Or are you just repeating what others have told you because it sounds good? When our oldest son was going to college to get an electrical engineer degree he almost never left his room. Weekends would come and go and he kept studying only to come out and eat. One day I asked him why? This is what he told me “ he said Dad, I don't want to just know how to pass the test and get a degree. I want to know how it works and why. In order to do so, there's a cost I have to be willing to pay. One can’t really know that they are going to heaven, that sounds good, I mean it was told to me by a respectable person. Is it true? It doesn't matter if it were told to us by a respectable or a non respectable person is it the truth? The Bible says we can know.

1 John 5:13 (KJV) These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. See, one can know!
