There is No Excuse for Not Living Right
Today people give a lot of reasons why they do this and why they do that and it really all seems to be logical at times. Some even say, that it’s their business why they do what they do and they are partially right! There’s an old saying that comes to mind; “one can lead a horse to the water but one can’t make him drink”! This message comes to let us know; that no matter who we are or what title we may or may not have - There is no excuse for not living right!
We all will be held responsible for our own sin that we have committed. So, no one can blame anyone but themselves’ for not doing what’s right. The blame game was played way back in Adam and Eve’s day; for they gave excuses of what they had done in the Garden of Eden and it angered God then and it angers God now for his people to try to hide their sin.

God knows how and why each of us does what we do and each individual will be held responsible for not doing what is right in God’s sight. Now, one may ask the question: What is right? Simply, if one is not doing the ways and the will of God which are right; then one is not living right! Right is simply doing what God wants one to do and not one doing what he or she wants to do!
All excuses were hung up on the tree because Jesus was hung up for our hang ups and there is no excuse for anyone not to live for the Lord! Jesus didn’t give an excuse Not to suffer, not to bleed or not to die for us and neither should anyone give an excuse for not living righteously the way that God intends for all to

    The Circumstances When People Follow or Not Follow Their Conscience Different circumstances require different measures. That is, there are sometimes when people follow their conscience, and at other times, they don’t follow their conscience. In my opinion, people follow their conscience when they feel that the actions they take are righteous or when they have peace and feel confident about these actions that they take. On the contrary, I believe that most people don’t follow their conscience when they are pressured to do something that they rather not do. In addition, I also believe that different people also follow different actions, based on many of their different attributes, such as their race, the environment they live in, and their place of birth.…
