He that saith he abideth in Him
ought himself also so to walk,
even as He walked.
1 John 2:6 KJV
Abide
Dwell
Walk
IN Christ
What does that mean?
Christianity seems like a lot of work! However, it isn’t at all! To the person who can’t or won’t surrender to God, this seems a large chore! Give up “life” as they know it to…what?
To a CHRISTIAN, however, to live is Christ! Well, what does that mean???
The answer is simple: We walk by faith, not by sight! We surrender this life as we know it over to God. Because we know, as His children, we are “taken care of.” We choose to hide in Him, to give ourselves over to Truth, (Jesus Christ) and let Him take care of us!
To the unbeliever, this is utter nonsense! Because, they need to SEE & TOUCH and smell, and logic doesn’t compute to them, because God is an invisible God! They say: the “universe” has a say…. it’s all about the “universe!” But WHO created the universe???
They want to see logically this God, this Christ, who is right in front of them, yet they can not see. It is “foolishness” to them. So because of unbelief, they can’t see!
Yet, how do we see? Simply, we have faith!
The unbeliever can not see because they refuse to have faith. Faith is a rarified gift.
A gift to all- a gift planted in each and everyone of us.
A gift they refuse. So LOVE is overshadowed by unbelief. This is such sad “shade” to carry. Because it over-loads the one without faith with lies. Whereas they are so convinced in their lie they can not see Truth… they can not see Christ… who is right in front of them.
The unbeliever’s lie overshadows to utter darkness the Light of Christ. The lie is this:
He isn’t… logic says so, I can’t see him…. So, they carry this burden (that they know not of, with unbelief that overshadows the life in which Christ would have for them.) They can not see Christ, or all the goodness in store for them. Just the lie: unbelief.
It is shattering, and a road that leads to eternal death.
Christ wants you to have ETERNAL LIFE IN Him!!!
Abiding in the comfort of the Lord brings you: rest, life, answered prayers, Love…. oh, I can go on and on. Do you want joy of faith? Abide in your God! Abide in His Shadow, and see what happens in your life!
Allow His message to dwell in you!
Believer, YOU are the righteousness of God, IN Christ Jesus! Let Jesus dwell in you, and your faith! Because through your faith is all the answers to life’s questions!
That brings us to walking! Walk, walk, walk! It’s a very lovely journey for the Christian! We are protected! We are loved! We are provided for! We, the faith-believer/walker walks in victory! Jesus is with us, and guess what? we can see, touch, and feel HIM every single minute. His presence is with us! He never disappoints! God with us: Emmanuel!
The believer has a very large gift: SALVATION! It’s a win-win for us who believe.
When the world speaks, we only hear God. When sickness tries to rear it’s ugly head, we can praise our way out to blessing! When things go wrong (which they always do, for everything you do right) know this: God is IN IT! God is IN everything that pertains to the believer who has surrendered to God!
To live (in Christ) is gain! Don’t forfeit your soul to the world, and it’s lies! No, submit to God! When you do, the enemy has to flee from you!
Walking means JOY- in the presence of the Lord, is FULLNESS of Joy!
Walking means REST on every side! Walking means, we can rest in PEACE on this very earth. Not the world, but God’s earth with God’s blessings!!! Hallelujah!!!
Walking with your Friend who sticks closer than a brother! Hold onto Him, Listening to His still quiet voice, and reveling in His blessings Heaped upon blessings!
Today is your day! Today is the day of Salvation!!!
To the one who is still wondering… if you obediently surrender to Christ Jesus, you will, guaranteed, see a difference in your life! The peace that passes all understanding will light the way, and show you that all the unbelief, and lies exposed were just that: lies.
God has planned from day one, for you to be with Him. However, God will not force you to believe. That choice is only yours to make.
So, if this message is speaking to you today, will you choose well? Ask God to help you to understand what this message means? To surrender to Christ Jesus, who loves you, by the way, and ask Him into your heart? It’s simple. It’s faith! It’s what God would have for you!
In the end, all the believers who read this: pray for the one who needs Jesus, who has read His message. And believe with me that Salvation is their win-win too, In Jesus name.
Jesus, according to Your Word, we are to walk as You walked. In LOVE, in FAITH, and compassion. This is how I see You, Lord. Faith, Your faith, knew that God was with You, and heard You, and praise God, answered You. Just the same for us. You: Love, hear and bless us. Thank you, that You Jesus, we live, move and have our being. I pray for the one today that You open their hearts, and melt the doubt and hardness, and heal and deliver and save today. They need You, Jesus. We need You, Lord. Bless today and every day, as we walk by faith, and not by sight.
This I ask in Jesus name. Bless the ones who are praying this prayer with me, Sweet Jesus. Be with them in their need, and allow Your Light work what needs to be worked, according to Your Word.
IN Jesus name, Amen Jesus!!!
