The Huge 2 Letter Word "IF"

It is an amazing thing to consider that we believe we can become something simply by affiliation. Even to think that we receive by affiliation. But yet even "Christians" have fallen into that deception. I heard someone say one time, " if I walk into a McDonalds does that make me a Big Mack?"

Here is the deception exposed, just because you hang around a church it does make you a believer. Just because you read your Bible it doesn't make you a recipient of the promises of the word. Just because you are a "Minister" of a religious organization it doesn't mean make you saved.

There is a huge 2 letter word in the Bible that makes all the difference in the world. That word is the word "IF".

Deuteronomy 28:1, " If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give to you today, the Lord your God will set you High above all the Nations of the earth."

Deuteronomy 6:25. " And If we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness."

These are a couple of major examples that we tend to over look in the faith. We want all the rights, blessing and justice to be exercised over our lives without considering the If.

Keep in mind the Word doesn't say, If you go to church, if you are a minister, if you know the Bible. He says If you obey my commands, " none of these diseases will come upon you. Now that makes that 2 letter word huge. Don't you think?
