“So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” – Matthew 19:6 ESV
Are you one flesh, born again in Christ?
Are you the bride of Christ?
Are you joined to Christ by God, so that no man could separate you from Christ – so that the very gates of hell shall not prevail against you?
Or are you just dabbling in the idea of entertaining the Lord as a possible suitor while you dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Or are you enjoying your whoring with the world because you just aren’t His at all because you have chosen a different lover altogether, whether it be self or flesh or worldly desire or pretty treasure that will waste away well before you expect?
Hear me if you will – all your whoring has not disqualified you, friend.
There is still time to repent and turn back from your wicked ways. But it is that lack of belief, that lack of faith, that absence of love in return for the high price paid for victory that will sound forth as the defeat for so many. Don’t wait. Come to the altar and lay it all down to pick up your new life in Christ. He is faithful and you will not find a relationship more valuable anywhere else in eternity.
