Are We Just Fooling Ourselves?

Many will say on that day, .....

Lord, did we not attend Sunday School, worship services and mid-week Bible Study class?

Did we not attend a youth group, sing your praises in the choir and feed the homeless on weekends?

Did we not have good intentions when it came to fleeing from the sin in our own lives?

Did we not come to You in prayer when we needed Your assistance?

Do we not meditate on Your word when we have nothing else to do?

Did we not proclaim Your greatness to others even though we trusted in our own goodness?

Were we not popular among non-believers as well as believers?

Did we not visit the sick and comfort those who were down?

Did we not walk an aisle, pray a prayer and get baptized?

Were we not proud of who we are and all that we have done?

Did we not have lots of friends and pray for others needs?

Did we not try real hard not to judge or offend anyone by withholding the warnings of sin, death, and Hell so people could be satisfied by thinking all is well with their soul?

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.  Proverbs 14:12

Paul tells us of the true believers in Philippians 3!

For we are the circumcision, who WORSHIP BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD and GLORY IN CHRIST JESUS and PUT NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH. 
Philippians 3:3

Most holy God, You alone are worthy of ALL praise, guide us to Your Son, may we trust fully in Him and not our own ways. Amen
