What do you produce with your life? Are you still growing? Still learning?
This is who we are in Christ
Real Christians “keep and obey…” We have a creed. We follow the example of Jesus. Our life imitates His – not in the sense of wearing robes and sandals, but in the sense of being like Jesus.
Called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level
Getting saved does not leave us kneeling there — still a common puny human. At that moment of salvation we are made brand new, and are called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level. We have more than “eternity”. We have an extreme, high calling from our extreme High God.
Salvation in Christ is beyond huge
Christ offers us His “iron-clad” humongous type of salvation… or, on the flip-side, this article could be titled… “The limits of what God will do for sinners”.
Getting to Heaven is not a religious thing
I am frightened by the standard set by God for entrance into His Kingdom. “Few there be that find it….” It is no small thing to be forgiven by God, accepted by God, made a child of God, to finally become a member of God’s family. Salvation by Almighty God is done by Him as we give Him our all. If we do not respond by a life given-over completely to Him, then we are fooling ourselves. We are still damned all to Hell.
Freed from a righteous “God Damn”
John (3:18-21) discusses the topic of being God damned: Being freed or not being freed – from God’s condemnation. Do you know you are free? Or are you still God damned?
Who I really really am
The problems of my day today – I won’t let them take away my joy in Christ. I will not let troubles crowd-out who I really am. In Christ – I am more than victorious over everything, because God holds me in His Hands, and promises good to me. He is my Refuge and My Strength. In Him I am up to the challenges. He is my all. I am enough because His Spirit is within me.
Following
Where’ you going? Are you truly “following” Christ? This is what it means to be “a follower” of the real Jesus Christ…
