1 | What do you do as "saints" when you fall | Hebrews | sufficient grace | 51397 | ||
I have been saved for almost 3 years. I consider it to be a blessing to be one of the "chosen ones"! But for the first time on my spiritual journey,I am realizing just how hard it is to be a Christian. Wanting to be obediant, and not give in to temptation! The conviction. What do you do as "saints" when you fall down? | ||||||
2 | What do you do as "saints" when you fall | Hebrews | inmyheart | 51398 | ||
Greetings You're going to get a lot of response on this question! Let me start by saying that God is the one who calls us "SAINTS", He is also the one who will "never" leave us nor "forsake" us.(Hebrews 13:5) The Word mentions in Proverbs 24:16, "For "a" just "man" falleth "seven" times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall "fall" into mischief." After reading the scripture that I just wrote, are you a "just" man or a wicked man? We are "in" Christ Jesus and God calls us "RIGHTEOUS". Out of the abundance of the "heart" speaks the mouth (Luke 6:45), you stated that you are realizing just how hard it is to be a Christian, well in our own mind that might be true because we are faced with situations that we are not familiar with, and it may seem hard at the moment, until we get our break through, then we realize that we've beat ourselves up for nothing. I would like for you to read Matthew 11:28-30, Let me quote what Jesus says in verse 30, "For my yoke is "easy" and my burden is light", do you see "hard" in there at all? No you don't and I"m not suggesting that we float through this life expecting no problems or that all of our experiences will be pleasureable. What I am saying to you my friend is that you are in the process of having your minds "renewed" (Romans 12:2) Our Lord is changing us day by day, because we are not able to "Kingdom walk" with our old way of thinking, we need the mind of Christ, and my friend the Word of God declares that you "have" the "mind of Christ" (1Corinthians 2:16)! What do you do when as a "saint" when you fall down? Get back up! Don't let the enemy discourage you! We are not bad people trying to be good, but we are sinners saved by Grace! The problem is not what you fall down for, those are your solutions for the problem, the wrong solutions. The problems lays within in ourselves, and the Lord is doing a work in your life to rid you of those problems (hurts, pains, sufferings, etc.) to bring a closure of those areas that we continue to carry, now that's hard! God has set you free, but He is also making you free (when you come to those situations). Finally beloved, rejoice and be thankful because you are being real about your situation, so many "saints" want to "act" as if there is no problems in there life. Never forget, God called you because you have a purpose and a destiny. He Loves you and He'll take you to your destination. God is the author of your Faith, and He is the Finisher of your Faith (Hebrews 12:2) He sees you in the His completed work in your life. So much so, that God wrote "your" name in THE BOOK OF LIFE. God Bless you my friend, it has been my pleasure to respond to you! |
