Bible Question:
Hi, This is what all believers (followers) of Christ obviously want to hear when they're standing before their Creator. But how many of us are really ready to die today for Him? Peter wasn't ready when they took Christ from him in the garden. He saw Christ first hand, our God who became a man. And Peter failed. He wasn't ready to go to the cross with Jesus then. What changed him? What got him ready. In John 21, after 3 years in ministry Peter went back to his old life of fishing. What makes some of us able to endure hard ship and others stumble and fall back. In Zechariah the word says "Not by might nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord." Most of us that participate on this Forum live lives that are free to worship and express thier beliefs as they choose, without (much) ridicule or pursecution. If our goal is to be ready to die today, as Peter told Christ in the garden. Then we better make sure we've got the right Spirit at work in us, giving us the strength and courage to endure that trial. I might have strong convictions and faith in what I believe but if thats all I have, the (Chris spirit) isn't going to see me through. I better make sure the Holy Spirit of God is in me and working through me, that I will be able to endure. If anyone reading this has any doubts about being infilled with His Spirit, don't let pride or self assurance deceive you into believing you'll be ready. We that are evil know how to give good gifts to our chidren. How much more and better will our Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him. It's just like when you got saved and asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior. Now you can go straight to your Father in heaven and ask Him to give you His Holy Spirit and you'll receive power Acts 1:8 Not by my might, not by my power, but by the power of His Spirit!! God bless His body as it strives to become a perfect bride. |
Bible Answer: I think many Westerns would not be ready if overnight anything we are allowed to do for Him is against the Law. I also have read polls, where things others crave to do, we don't do ... like read the Bible, pray in public, share Jesus ... Some may not get a "well done" |
