Hello Everyone,

Another reason people who profess to know God still turn back to weak and miserable principals for their guidance and help rather than turn to God is:

They don’t realize how much power the world still has over them.
“Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods. But now that you know God-or rather are known by God-how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?” Galatians 4:v8-9

Before a person comes to know God all their guidance comes from ungodly sources.

“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts.” (Ephesians 2:1-3)

Even now that we know God -Our nature is to still do things the way we used to do them before we came to know God.

In the case of the Galatians – Jesus was their savior but He was not yet their Lord.

Jesus was not able to lead them and guide them into all truth because the world still had power over them.

Are we going to live by the principals of the world or live by the principals of the WORD of God?

Oh How HE Loves Us!
