On Account of Us

We have not been displaying ourselves in the image of Christ and for that, he is coming again.

“⁵Put to death therefor what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. ⁶On account of these the wrath of God is coming. ⁷In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.” – Colossians 3:5-7 (ESV)

We were once a part of all those things before we accepted Christ and it is a struggle each day to stay out of them. The only way out of them completely is with the coming of Jesus again. When He comes again we will be completely rescued from the temptations of this world like “sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire and covetousness”.

It is us that fall into these items. When we are doing our own things and not leaning of God for the help He provides. When we are going it alone, we find ourselves seeking acceptance in the most insincere places. We would do better to sit down with God’s Word and seek guidance there. Look to the one place where things are pure for our direction.

We are sinners and on account of us, Jesus is coming again.

Where do you place the responsibility of your actions? Are you looking to self for your indiscretions? Are you aware and own the idea that this is all on account of you?
