Christians Must Go Forwards

Every Christian must keep moving forwards, particularly, in God's ways or else they will fall backwards or even move sideways and off God's ways, into the devil's seductive plans. To keep moving forwards a Christian is required to spend more time, in fellowship, with the Lord. This can be and must be achieved by staying away from evil people and their own plans. However, to be fully effective, a child of God must learn and read God's word, the Holy Bible, on a daily basis. Preferably first thing in the morning and at other times as their commitments allow them. Always meditate upon God's word as well as using a useful and reliable reference of the passage you are studying. At every opportunity, confess and apply an appropriate verse or verses to your current situation. Never just charge in and do your own thing but keep on asking the Holy Spirit for godly advice and above all obey His instructions for your own life's circumstances.

Your New Life. Every born again Christian, as soon as they have repented of their sins and have given their life to the Lord, have already begun living, a new life, in Christ. This we read from Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6. Your inner person, your spirit, has been recreated to live in Christ's resurrection power; your old sinful, spiritual nature has been raised, that means completely resurrected, from the dreadful darkness of Satan's kingdom and its evil. It is now living in the love, joy, peace and righteousness of God's kingdom of heaven. We are now seated above and are enabled to live in God's kingdom, forevermore. This is through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, our Lord and Saviour, even while we are in our earthly state.

Don't Be Anxious! We are informed in Proverbs 12 verse 25 not to be anxious or worried but rather to listen to encouraging words. Those that keep worrying about their circumstances must learn to praise the Lord and to give Him glory and honour for who He is. He has won for us a wonderful victory over our former situations, our present life trials and any future afflictions. Why? He has already given you mighty victory and He will always keep on doing so. The Lord is your Redeemer, Protector and Provider, in every trial and circumstance you have already encountered or are already encountering and will ever encounter in your future! He gives every born again believer, His victory, as they learn to trust in Him.

How To Be Holy. To be truly holy God's born again and elect children, must conform to His will and purposes. We must have an inner desire, through the Holy Spirit, based on the foundation of God's word, the Holy Bible. Our life must be growing daily becoming like God's life. We must strengthen our resolve to do so and continue, in His holy way, discarding that which is of our flesh, the world around us and the deceitful behaviour of Satan and his demonic hordes. We learn from Isaiah chapter 6 verse 3 that God the Father, Jesus Christ, His Son and the Holy Spirit – the three in One, the Holy Trinity – is always completely perfect and righteous, in every aspect of their divine nature and being. In this passage, the Seraphim, angelic beings, cry out three times, in heaven, the holiness of the Lord of Hosts. Everything that God has created; the entire universe; praise His holy name and is filled with His glory and holiness.

For the Sake of the Elect

The only elect are the born again children of God! We read about God's great mercy to all of mankind from Matthew chapter 24 verse 22. Our God will intervene in the great tribulation that will come upon the earth because of the righteous out poured wrath of God against all unbelievers, who wilfully keep on sinning. These people were not willing to repent. The mercy of the Lord will prevail and the number of days of the great tribulation, will be shortened, because of God's elect children. If His wrath against mankind's sins had been continued then no human being would have survived, on planet earth. This is because God's grace extends to everyone who is willing to repent and be saved from the curse of their sinful nature and its evil results!
