God has revealed a
plan and a purpose for your life. “And we know that all
things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to His purpose.” Romans
8:28
Why is there so much
rebellion when we talk about doing those things that please God. We have in our
society today an entire constituency of those who claim Christ but they have no
desire to follow Christ - no inner inclination to follow God’s design for their
lives and no plans to get started.
There’s a couple of
reasons why there is so much rebellion.
1 They
believe in vain or
2 They
believe a lie
1 Corinthians 15:1-2, “Moreover, brethren,
I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have
received, and wherein ye stand; V2 By which also ye
are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain.”
Matthew 15:8-9
“This people draweth
nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but their
heart is far from Me.
V9 But in vain they
do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
It is interesting;
this word vain means to, (manipulate to no purpose, an unsuccessful
search). “In vain they do worship Me” -
They manipulate me to no purpose and cannot find me.
Some people believe
in vain because they have been taught to believe in vain or they have
established their own god and worship him.
It is easier that way. One look
at world religion as a whole and you can see clearly that many people worship
God in vain."
