“Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it
is sin.”
James 4: 17
King James Version
How many times have we heard on the news or read in the paper about
someone being killed? We get upset and angry and think that they ought
to lock the person up that did it and throw away the key, or he or she
should be given the maximum sentence. What would happen to us if Jesus
locked us up or gave us the maximum sentence of hell every time that we
say something harsh or sarcastic to people?
We think that some sins are worse than the others, but this verse
says if we know to do good and don’t do it, then we are sinning.
Everyone of us knows to say kind things to people. We know that
we are to be encouragers and spread the Love of Jesus to
everyone we see. |

However,
many times we don’t do what Jesus has commanded us to do.
All of us can send someone an email, write a letter, call someone or go
visit that person. We get so involved in our daily schedules that we
don’t make time for Jesus. We need to pray as soon as we get up and ask
Him what He wants us to do. What we have planned to do may not be what
He wants us to do that day. Why is it that we have no problem getting up
very early in the morning when we are going on a trip, but we aren’t
able to get up early to spend time with Jesus? How that must break the
Heart of our Saviour!
If God lays something on our hearts and tells us to do it and we don’t
do it, then we are sinning. He has told us to tell people about Jesus.
Are you telling your family, loved ones and friends about Him? Do they
know that you love Jesus?
