It Matters Who You Are

God in His awsome love called us to be His people. Those who are called followers of Jesus Christ. God set us apart for Him. To be different from the world. To be His witnesses of His great love and mercy.
Why does it matter who we are? How we live? Did you know that Noah was the 10th generation from Seth who was the third son of Adam and Eve? Abraham was the 10th generation from Shem which was the son of Noah. Noah had three sons that were saved by the flood yet only one family, Shem's was written about in detail. Why? Because God set them apart to be His people and He was to be their God.
How did 10 generations to 10 generations live for God? Because they did not live as the world yet they lived in the world. They were different in what they pursued. In Deut. chapter 11 God's desire is that we love the LORD GOD and serve Him with all your heart and soul. He promises to be your God and to stay beside you forever. In this chapter God tells us to tell our children as they rise, as they lay down and as we go on our way about Him so that they will love and serve Him with their whole heart and soul.
So it matters who we are and how we live for those generations following us will only know God if we live and tell them how great He is! And He is Great! In every way.
