Life Through The Spirit


We are free from the law of sin and death because of Jesus Christ. The law of the Spirit of life; which is Jesus, has set us free. God sent His Son in the likeness of a sinful man to be our sin offering. So, no longer then do we live according to the sinful nature but according to His Spirit
.
Thinking about this, I am reminded of (1 Corinthians 13:11) where the Bible says; “When I was a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now, I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.“ The Holy Spirit provides us wisdom to discern how we are to live before God.

The Spirit of God says as we live, we must love and not condemn. The Word of God shows us the way, and we acknowledge the Spirit’s wisdom by following His way. Paul, the apostle, said in (1 Corinthians 14:20) “Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
We are given a choice; a choice to choose wisdom or ignorance, and life and death because of the sacrifice of our Lord on the cross. Therefore, these days, let us remember His sacrifice, and carefully consider all Jesus did for us. No longer are we condemned by the law, rather, we are saved by His Spirit."

All praise and glory are Yours, O God!

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...
