“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. Matthew 7:21

My brothers and sisters in Christ, my prayer for you and I this morning, is that we all not just be hearers of God’s word, but doers of his word; and we could only be successful in doing the will of God when we are committed to him. I want to ask you this morning, how committed are you? Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Master? For, unless we commit ourselves to God, and living daily for God, we will not be able to fully understand the will of God for us. There is nothing that we have living in the flesh, or can do in the flesh, that will never bring us as much joy as when we have received the gift of salvation. There is joy in the service of the Lord! It is challenging, but rewarding. When I look back at the things I gained in my sinful state, I am ashamed; and Scripture cannot lie, Romans 6:20-23 says, “When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the obligation to do right. And what was the result? You are now ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in death. But, now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord”.
