The most comforting news that I have ever heard is that the soul of Born Again Believers – our thoughts, choices and emotions – are totally encase in the love of Jesus Christ both now and throughout eternity (Psalm 125:2). He is in us and we are in Him in God (Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3). We are in the world, but not part of the world (John 17:14-19). We live life separated from what is evil, but immersed in what is good, righteous and holy.
Love, in the person of Jesus Christ, is our focus. He is our only true life (Colossians 3:4). Our whole life is centered in God, whether we carpool the children, grocery shop, read our Bible, fellowship with Believers or put in a multitude of hours at work. We do not live to shop, to care for our family or to advance at work, but to do the will of our Father God in and through these opportunities, which He provides for us (Hebrews 8:10).
The beauty of faith in Christ is that once Christ returns, even nature will return to its original glory (Romans 8:22). We live in harmony with God through His Spirit. Our purpose in this life is to reconcile with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, anyone who will believe in Him. It is not our responsibility to convince them, but simply to share God’s Truth as it pertains to our own life.
The choice is theirs, as it was ours, whether or not to believe. We can share the gospel on our social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, ect. Then, those who read our words may realize that they need Jesus too. If we have the mind to do so, we can fellowship via the Internet, in the comfort of our own home, with Saints from all over the world.
A Godly life profits us in every area of our existence – body, soul and spirit (1 Timothy 4:8). We do not exist through our own efforts and resources, but through the power of God’s mighty Spirit who dwells within us. Through Him, we accomplish every action, which God designed for us to do before we were ever born (Ephesians 2:8-10). God works in us and through us, giving us both the desire and the power to accomplish everything for His pleasure (Philippians 2:12-13).
Prayer:
Father God, You give us the opportunity to harmonize with
nature in our worship of You (Psalms 148:3-5). You give us Your power from on high as we wait
in Your presence (Luke
24:29); and then we go forth into all the earth, informing everyone who
will listen that You want to envelop them in Your love too. We thank You for
the privilege of living, moving and having our entire existence in You (Acts 17:28). We vow
to share Your love with everyone You bring into our day.
God’s love gave us the fruit of His Spirit to provide us
with His divine nature in this life on earth, which victoriously sees us
through every circumstance we may encounter.
– Galatians 5:22-23
