Yes, the Lord said it is FINISHED!! Many people tell you that you do not have to do a thing but believe! Well, it is Finished on God's part and now you must go do your part and BELIEVE. When you come to BELIEVE unto the Lord, then you must now go home and into your lives to search out the idols and break down and destroy your pillars of Baal and Ashteroth! Ask God to search out your hearts and destroy the idols that are in your hearts and crucify your flesh! You are called to erect a pillar of God's house (temple) from your own bodies as a living sacrifice. A pillar of His consuming FIRE!
2 Corinthians 6:16 (AMP) What agreement [can there be between] a temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in and with and among them and will walk in and with and among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
When someone goes to Jesus Christ to be saved whether called to the altar or in your homes, which soil is the Word of Life falling on in your lives? What kind of soil are you? Many can profess the words of salvation but when they go back home, it is back to their own thrones called the couch and flipping their own worldly bibles called the remote control that continues to teach you the things of the world and they shout for strangers running with a ball who do not care for a thing in the world for you! They just want your money. But yet so many complain that churches want your money? What about the professional sports organizations? What about your cable company? What about the corporations and their commercials? What about the beer and cigarette companies that want your money. They want to get you addicted and suck the life out of you! They ALL want your money! They want to make you a slave to their products addicted unto death! And people complain about preachers or churches wanting your money? I don't hear Christians complaining about the worldly corporations and sports organizations that continue to defile the Lord's Day that want your money!
Jesus does not need your money and He has come to give you LIFE! Jesus does not need your money but He will use the money you have to test your obedience whether you will tithe properly or not. It is used to test your hearts. Can you not trust HIM? But yet, many want to serve two masters? Many say they live for the Lord but yet they want to continue to caress their idols and caress their fear?
Am I saying get rid of your TVs? TV in itself is not bad thing. But perhaps for some this is required if you can't stop watching secular TV for hours and hours like a zombie or a slave. Is this the first thing you do when you wake up? Is this the first thing you do when you get home? Is this the last thing you do before you to bed?
2 Corinthians 6:14 (AMP) Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers [do not make MISMATED alliances with them or come under A DIFFERENT YOKE with them, INCONSISTENT with your faith]. For what partnership have right living and right standing with God with iniquity and lawlessness? Or how can light have fellowship with darkness?
James 4:4(AMP) You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world's friend is being God's enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God.
Jesus came to fulfill the law. He did not come to do away with it. Many people use Grace to swim in the dung of the world. God did not just all of suddenly add Grace through Jesus Christ. Grace had always been there even from the beginning and throughout history. If it was not for Grace, Adam and Eve would have not continued. Grace has been enormously emphasized in the person of Jesus Christ and Grace is part of the overall nature and plan of God from the beginning. The ceremonial laws have been done away. The LAW as in the TEN Commandments and His other moral instructions/commands are still in effect! Do not end up being declared a evil doer and a worker of iniquity!
Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace (favor) in the eyes of the Lord.
Psalm 50:5 Gather together to Me My saints [those who have found grace in My sight], those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.
He did not come to do away the Law or the Prophets. He came to emphasize and be Grace by fulfilling the Law.
Matthew 5:17(AMP) Do not think that I have come to do away with or [a]undo the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo but to complete and fulfill them.
Romans 3:31 (AMP) Do we then by [this] faith make the Law of no effect, overthrow it or make it a dead letter? Certainly not! On the contrary, we confirm and establish and uphold the Law.
This means we call onto Jesus who is Grace the author of our salvation and we receive HIM (Grace) and Power to repent and overcome being slaves to sin. It does NOT give us the ability to continue in our sins being slaves to sin or to serve two masters or to love what the world has to offer.
When you truly accept the Lord, you are not only saved, you are BEING Saved!! Do NOT shipwreck your faith or be led astray by the lusts of the world or by a stubborn heart. Continue to ask the Lord to search your hearts to reveal what does not belong in your hearts. Repent and return to your First Love for the King of Kings is returning! The call to straighten the crooked path has been going out. The shofar is being blown to awaken His people to a call of WAR!
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are BEING saved it is the [manifestation of] the power of God.
Fire of God!

Another thing is that though we are saved, we are still called to follow Christ and to become sanctified. God works in our lives to grow us closer to him!
