Do you want to take the necessary steps to get closer to our eternal Father?
What if you could ask Jesus for a fresh start? Well, my friend you can, the big question is are you ready for such a commitment?
Let’s look at steps to take to start this new journey. Ephesians 4:14, 15 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Be no longer children, but grow up in Christ. I know what you are thinking, hey I’m not a child, I’m 50 years old, how can I start over, Will God give me another chance to grow up? Just as a child needs to do certain things to grow physically, so Christians need certain kinds of activities to grow spiritually.
If we want to enter the kingdom of Heaven we must be willing to being committed to first of all obeying Gods commandments.
If you break one, you have broken all in Gods eyes., however if you have already done so as we all have, God will forgive you, but don’t sit back and think you can continue to do so now that you know it is wrong.
We have to remember that breaking the commandments result in eternity in hell; however we have to remember Jesus died on the cross for all our sins. God Himself already paid the price in full for you. What love God must have for us! He suffered an agonizing death, so that you wouldn't have to be punished for your sins. His sacrificial death and resurrection means that you need no longer be in debt to the Law; and God can now grant you everlasting life if you obey Him. Death no longer has a legal hold on those who belong to Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 53:5 He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed"
Follow these simple steps to retrieve your spirituality:
1. Read the Bible…one scripture at a time or one chapter, find a study partner. Use your computer, find a great bible study course (get a good study bible, English version will help you) I suggest kjv in english.
2. Find a church and attend regularly, it is important that you find one that you feel you can get Gods Holy Spirit in.
3. Get involved with other Christians, rather in a church group or another ministry.
4. Pray daily and often…Prayer is simply talking to God. You don’t have to use big fancy words. There are no right and wrong words. Just be yourself. Give thanks to the Lord daily for your salvation. Pray for others in need. Pray for direction. Pray for the Lord to fill you daily with His Holy Spirit. There is no limit to prayer. The Lord’s Prayer; Matthew 6:9-15 (is the best example to follow: just don’t get into repetition; God wants you to talk to Him as your best friend. Why not text your best friends (Jesus) tell Him what’s going on with you today! Even if you have to delete he read it and knows it was from your heart.
Jesus did the hard part for us, so now it’s up to you and me to follow these simple steps and get our spirituality back. Follow the laws he put out there for you. I ask in Jesus name for His blessing on us as we start immediately to walk in His name. Amen
