Do you walk with God?

There are many who think they do and there are a few who actually do wake up acknowledging Him and walking with Him throughout the day. I’m not saying that you have to live your life this way but if you are saved and a believer in Jesus for your salvation you are expected to live this way. Jesus said for us to “take up our cross daily and follow Him”. If you aren’t doing this as a believer…why not?

Living your life daily connected to Jesus is also a part of being His disciple. You might say that you didn’t sign up for being a disciple but you did. Giving your heart and life to Him is not a little bit here or there, it is giving everything that you are to Jesus and pledging to do so every morning when you wake up and begin your day. We are not supposed to pick and choose parts of God’s Word to believe and we can’t choose to give Him part of our life and keep back some areas of it. Your salvation is for your whole life…all of it. Not just a piece of it here and there.

When you wake up, you have been given a gift. We do not have a guarantee of days and years of life but God gives us those to prove to us how much He loves us. Most people do not look at their daily lives as gifts from God but each day truly is. Each of us, as believers, has an obligation to fulfill because of the mercy and grace that we have been given even though we don’t deserve it. Our obligation is to use our daily lives as our witness to others for Him so that our faith in Him is visible every day and not just on Sunday at church.

Every Christian is saved because God called you or me. We can’t just choose to be a Christian because even though we may live morally and go to church and act like one, without the Holy Spirit changing our hearts and us living a Christian life according to His leading there is no way that we can truly live a Christian life. Jesus said that we can do nothing without Him, so seek Him in the Bible and learn about Him. Follow the example set by His disciples.

Are you broken?

I’ve asked this question before, but when you consider the world we live in, there seem to be more broken people than whole people. Can this be changed? Yes, but not through legislation or anything that mankind can do. Our brokenness is due to our sinful nature; the only fix is accepting Jesus as your Savior…now, today. We must seek Him because no one is given tomorrow. You or I have no reason to put off accepting Jesus because we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

Being broken today is the most common condition in our world. We are broken because of war and diseases like COVID and cancer. We are broken in our relationships simply because we look at many of them as temporary, even marriages today are looked at as temporary. Brokenness is a chronic condition all over the world. Even countries that don’t look at the world through Christ’s eyes are broken more than they realize. Why are there so many people seeking Jesus today? Because He is the fix for your broken condition!

God loves you more than you can understand. Remember, He sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins and if you believe that He did this for you and ask Him to come into your heart and change you then you will be changed from that moment…IF you are sincere about your need for Him. Just saying the words and getting baptized or anointed in some way doesn’t change anyone if you aren’t convicted enough to truly change your life.

According to God’s Word, your life doesn’t end when your body dies. Your spirit lives on into eternity and it is that part of you that will suffer for eternity if you don’t accept Jesus as your Savior before you die and truly become a follower of Jesus for the rest of your life.
