HIS BIRTH, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION: WHAT’S IN IT FOR US AS BELIEVERS?
APOSTLES IN CHRIST:
NOW THAT THE CHRISTMAS HAS COME AND GONE, WHAT REMAINS IS, OUR UNDAUNTED FAITH IN CHRIST.
HIS BIRTH, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION: WHAT’S IN IT FOR US AS BELIEVERS?
WE MUST BE RESOLUTELY COURAGEOUS, AND UNDAUNTED IN THE FACE OF DEATH AS THE THREE HEBREWS WERE.
[DANIEL, 3:-8-25]
WE ARE RUNNING A RACE THAT MUST BE WON.
FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
THE BIRTH OF CHRIST DOES NOT START AND ENDS IN GIFTS EXCHANGE AND JUBILATIONS OF ALL KINDS.
BUT TO DULY OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS AND FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. [JOHN, 16:-7]
WE MUST NOT ALLOW SATAN TO CHANGE THE PURPOSE OF CHRIST’S BIRTH TO A MERE CELEBRATION AND EXCHANGE OF GIFTS AMONG OURSELVES.
THERE ARE THREE MAJOR THINGS NEEDED FOR US TO BE SLAVTION VALUED CHRISTIANS.
OUR FAITH IN CHRIST MUST BE ROCK-SOLID.
WE MUST HAVE A FORGIVING HEART THAT WILL ENABLE US TO FORGIVE OTHERS WHEN VIOLATED.
OUR WORKS OF CHARITY MUST NOT BE ABANDONED.
[JAMES, 2:-15-17]
“MERCY TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT,” SAYS THE HOLY SCRIPTURE. [JAMES, 2:-13]
IF WE ARE NOT YET AT THE POINT OF FORGIVING OTHERS WHEN VILOTAED, CHANCES ARE, WE MAY NOT BE FORGIVEN BY GOD. [MATTHEW, 6:-14-15]
IN CONCLUSION: “BE KIND AND COMPASSIONATE TO ONE ANOTHER, FORGIVE EACH OTHER, JUST AS IN CHRIST, GOD FORGAVE YOU.” [EPHESIANS, 4:-32]
PLEASE KINDLY JOIN US IN OUR PRAYERS FOR OUR BELOVED BROTHERS AND SISTER IN CHRIST, WHO ARE FACING PERSECUTION ON A DAILY BASIS DUE TO THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYERS FOR LOVE AND UNITY AMONG CHRIST-FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION.
