Scripture Post #391: *WHY CALL ME LORD?*

Luke 6:46: "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

JESUS is speaking here (Luke 6:46-49). 

Luke 6:46: "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"

V. 47: "Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:"

V. 48: "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock."

V. 49: "But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great."

We can't be true sons and daughters of GOD and do not what HE says. We can't make our own rules and/or go with our own flow. Do you go to work and tell your employer how things are going to be? Do you make your own rules at work? If you hope to stay employed I believe you'd do what you're told of your employer. Well, how much more significant is it to do what GOD wants of you? HE's GOD! We can't take HIS Holy Scriptures and twist and pervert 'em into making them mean what we feel they ought to mean! We can't call JESUS "LORD" if we do not what HE says. Meaning: HE's not your LORD if you don't obey HIM. We are not our own god's and we don't make our own rules. If JESUS truly is LORD in our lives then we must follow HIM fully!

Luke 9:23: "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

John 14:15: "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

John 14:21: "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."

John 14:23: "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him."
