Christmas or Easter

Who is naughty and who is nice. Do we think that we will be judged like Santa Claus? Some of us treat our Christianity in that light. Ephesians 4:17-18, is asking Christians to stop living like the other people and it wasn't so that the others would see their witness, but rather that they would be able to see what God has in store for them and to understand his word. It is all for their benefit and their growth. Like today, Christians should try to live up apart from nonbelievers, so that they may understand and grow in their walk in Christ. What was true then and what is true now is the nonbeliever is in darkness they cannot understand God's word or see Gods workings in this world today. That is why nonbelievers ridicule and jest at the believer and at the word of God, it's not because they are angry at us. It is they are embarrassed by their ignorance. We as believers have been given a teacher a guide a Comforter that shows us and trains us to understand God's word and what he is doing in our life. We should no longer live as the unbelievers, mostly because that would lead us back into ignorance.

Happiness in the Believer

The happiness and joy that is talked about in the Gospels is something that needs to be learned and understood. The only teacher of the Gospel is Christ. That is why he sent his Holy Spirit to teach us with an understanding that only the believer can truly know.

A person can put to memory the entire word of God and still not know what it is. The reason for this is simple the mind of man was not meant to understand the Spirit of God. For true understanding of the word, the Spirit of God must be dwelling in the believer to interpret and shed light on what the gospel is saying to him. That is why God word brings new light to shine in a believer’s heart from the same passages, the Holy Spirit hears from God what to speak to that believer. 

It Sounds So Easy

It is always easier to say something than it is to actually do it or for one experienced in the task he cannot understand why others have so much trouble or pass judgment 2 Corinthians 10:2-3 Paul is trying to explain that people think he is walking in the flesh and his arrogance or pride is showing it is simply that experience in a loving Christ and his word all has become less and less carnal they did not see what they could not understand. Paul told the people that the fight is not against the flesh but against spirit the flesh will wither and die and be buried and in time forgot about the great monument will be blowing to dust by the wind.

Christ said in Luke 11:28 blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it. This is after calling the generation evil. It's after teaching the disciples to pray it's after casting out demons. People were excited about Christ being there is some he was nothing more than a dog at a circus they can do tricks and make the crowd laugh. Christ was also reminding the people of the prophets that their fathers killed the judgments of God Sodom and Gomorrah, Jonah and Lot. Christ was not condemning the people he did not say your judgment has come the end is near. You're going to die he said follow me and live keep the father's word love one another. How then did Christ expect us to be saved? Did he set more rules and laws or was the only law rule and deed needed for salvation for us to love him?

Romans 8:1 tells us that we are not condemned if we are in Christ and do not walk according to the flesh. If people that are in Christ have no condemnation is it their freedom to sin to do things that other people in the world do I think not for to be in Christ is to hate the things of the flesh to want to do heavenly things, and two, abhor earthly or fleshly things as Christ was on this earth a human, His love to do the father’s will was so strong He was the only one that did not do fleshly or carnal things. Without it is impossible for man not to spend it is possible to use his example has a pattern for our life to turn away from sin to not judge people but to have compassion or love or them to help them that need help. And when we sin or fall. We know that we are still in Christ and not allow our flesh to condemn ourselves for the sin far as Christ died for us, he does not need to continue to die for each sin. The condemnation comes from our flesh the devil would want it that way for the more we think of our sin, the less we think of our glory, the more damned we think we are the less salvation we claim to receive.
