Faithful Return and Following
We have ceased being believers and are now followers.
The exiles have returned from a 70-year captivity in Babylonia. We are all coming back from some type of activity. That captivity is when we were living according to what we wanted and not what God wanted. There is a satanic lie that people attend church for reasons other than showing gratitude for what God has done in our lives.
As the Israeli people were repatriated, the Bible describes exactly what would happen to the nation in the coming years. It is the same for us today. We go to God for repatriation. It is a place where you belong.
We are encouraged to read the Bible to attain spiritual growth. Do not go by a feeling, but by what the Bible says. How do we begin to live the Christian life? Most trust that we are going to heaven, but we are still living on earth. He wants your fruit. He wants you to get to know about God. We have to search the Scriptures to get to know who God really is. Everyone is encouraged to find out what they have agreed to live by.
We are serving the Most High God. When we are born again, we must take on the nature of God. He dropped the charges when we became born again. You have to get down into the width and breadth of your faith. You were let in free. Jesus paid the fee.
Want to live the life God has promised.
Character - the internal moral foundation of one's core belief. It is the very core of who you are.
Conduct - the external expression of that foundation now visible in attitude and behavior.
Your conduct must match your character. Just live right. Just forgive and be kind to people. If your life is hell, it is because you let it in.
If you have children, what are you showing them?
Assignment: Read the Book of 1 Thessalonians (It’s only five chapters)
