The Just Shall Live by Faith
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:17, KJV) The Christian life is fundamentally a life of faith. We received salvation by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we continue our walk with God by faith. Faith is […]
Cross your Jordan
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. (2 Kings 2:9) The story of Elijah and Elisha gives us a powerful picture of spiritual transition. Elisha had followed Elijah through different places, but there […]
Leave the old life behind
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17) There comes a time in your walk with God when you must stop allowing your past to dictate your present. The old life has no authority over the new […]
Your focus matters
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. (2 Corinthians 4:18) What you continually focus on will influence how you experience life. If all you see are your problems, your problems will become larger in your mind than they actually are. If all you talk […]
Trust and Obey
If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: (Isaiah 1:19) Spiritual excellence is not only seen in what we know, but in how accurately we respond to the instructions of the Spirit. There will be moments when the Holy Spirit prompts you to pray, to wait, to move, to […]
Grow in the House of God
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18) The house of God is a place of spiritual training. When you come to the church, don’t come merely to occupy a seat. Come ready to learn. Come ready to participate. Come ready to receive the Word […]
Your true life as a Christian
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him. (Colossians 2:6) Receiving Christ is the beginning, not the end, of your journey as a believer. You have received Him, and now you must walk in Him. There is a life to live after salvation. Christianity is not simply about having […]
Cultivate Godly Habits
But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. (1 Timothy 4:7) Your spiritual life is greatly influenced by the habits you cultivate. An excellent Christian life does not happen accidentally. You have to give attention to the things that build your spirit. Prayer, studying the Word of God, fellowship, worship, […]
Take your life in Christ seriously
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is. (Hebrews 10:24–25) There is a seriousness that must come into our Christian walk. Christianity is not something we practise only when we are in trouble or when we […]
The Life of Christ Is at Work in You
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21) The Christian life is not a life we are expected to live by our own strength. Christ Himself is our life. His divine life is at work in our spirit, soul, and body, and His presence in us makes us more […]
