A Life In Christ

A Life In Christ

Think about Paul’s life in Christ. It was no day at the beach. Yet, his love for the Lord is unquestionable. What has God purposed for you to do? What hinders you from doing it?

I like to say that following Christ is easy and difficult. It’s easy because all you have to do is say no to anything God has told you not to do. It’s difficult because actually saying no is challenging. The only way to have a right relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ the Son by the power of the Holy Spirit is to read your Bible daily, pray daily, and surround yourself with mature Christians. 

If you are not doing those three things with a focus on and a passion for Christ, you’re in danger (1 Peter 5:8) here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Acts 22:17-21

17 “When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance 18 and saw the Lord speaking to me. ‘Quick!’ he said. ‘Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people here will not accept your testimony about me.’
19 “‘Lord,’ I replied, ‘these people know that I went from one synagogue to another to imprison and beat those who believe in you.20 And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.’

21 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’ ”
