“No one is able to take this stand for Jesus Christ who is
not totally compelled by the majesty of His power. It is the only thing that
matters, and yet it is strange that it’s the last thing we as Christian workers
realize. Paul said that he was gripped
by the love of God and that is why he acted as he did. People could
perceive him as mad or sane— he did not care. There was only one thing he lived
for— to persuade people of the coming judgment of God and to tell them of “the
love of Christ.” This total surrender to
“the love of Christ” is the only thing that will bear fruit in your life.
And it will always leave the mark of God’s holiness and His power, never
drawing attention to your personal holiness.” CHAMBERS
Galatians 2:20 “I
have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave himself for me.”
Do you believe that?
If you do then you will live by it.
If you don’t, you won’t. There is
a subtle difference for most of us between acknowledgement and belief. You can acknowledge what that there are
certain words in the Bible without believing them. Belief has nothing to do with truth. Truth never changes … in John 14:6 Jesus said that He is the Truth …. The source of truth ..
in John chapter 1 it ways that nothing was made that was not made by Him –
Jesus – the Word. It does not matter is
a person believes that, it is the truth.
Jesus is the Way to the Father. The
Truth is not affected by the fact that a person chooses to disbelieve it. Reject Jesus, you spend eternity in
hell.
If you are a Christian, you have been crucified with Christ. Old things (love for the things of this
world) are passed and all things are becoming new. (2
Corinthians 5:17) If you believe that,
it will change the way you live your life.
It will change what is important to you.
Someone once said that you only believe the parts of the Bible that you
obey. The parts you walk in and live
out. Surrender to the Truth is the only
way that you can bear spiritual fruit in your life. Hear – Believe – Obey – Bear Fruit That is what it takes for real change to take
place in your life. And that’s the
Truth.
Trust and Obey
“When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, What a
glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with
all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way To be happy in
Jesus, but to trust and obey.”
