God Cannot be Less Than Himself
he author reflects on a quote by Anne Graham Lotz about God’s unchangeable nature, prompting a deeper examination of faith. Emphasizing the necessity of faith to connect with God, the piece questions whether believers limit God to their level of faith rather than embracing His fullness. It encourages a pursuit of understanding God’s gifts through the Holy Spirit.
Honor and Glory
Young Christians are increasingly honoring God rather than asking what He can provide for them. This shift aligns with the purpose of existence: to glorify God. Honoring God, a biblical command, deepens our relationship with Him and transforms our perspective on life’s challenges, reminding us of our eternal home.
The Imperative of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit, often seen as the quiet one, conveys imperative messages that Christians must heed, urging them to speak up about salvation. Believers should engage with others along with routine spiritual activities. Time is short, and acting on the Holy Spirit’s nudges is crucial, as opportunities may quickly vanish.
Choosing Our Life
The way we live our lives shapes our experiences and memories. Despite life’s transience, choosing a path of continual prayer and living in Jesus fosters peace in the face of anxiety.
Overcome Evil with Good
Evil exists, but bad situations aren’t necessarily evil. The story of Joseph demonstrates that God can take evil actions and turn them into good outcomes. Joseph’s faith enabled him to rise above his brothers’ wrongdoings. Believers should trust that God works all things for good and not let evil actions control their lives.
Alive in Jesus
As followers of Jesus, we aim to live Christ-like lives by studying and applying God’s Word, trusting in His promises, praying continually, and finding our joy in Christ. We must also be aware of cultural Christianity’s deception and strive to lead others to a born-again life in Jesus.
How’s Your Faith Doing?
Scripture emphasizes that faith comes from hearing the word of Christ, is a gift of God, and leads to salvation. Faith in Jesus justifies believers, and Jesus perfects it to bring us to faith’s intended goal.
