I Live In Grace By Faith In God And Jesus

I live in grace through Faith in the love of God and Jesus Christ.  It is not I who lives it is Jesus who lives through me.  If it is any other way then it is wrong…

Philippians 3:10-11 (NIV) 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

As I try to teach others I sometimes feel I am spinning my tires, I am stuck in the mud. Sometimes I even feel no one is listening. Then I read Philippians 3:10-11. For this is the desire of my heart so then I read on with Philippians 3:12-14 (NIV) 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

It is time for some to let go of the past and move on. By hanging on to the past one is not excepting Galatians 2:20 (NIV) I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. As one who has accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our old person was nailed to the cross with Jesus Christ. So if that is true, then old things have passed away, they are dead and gone. They no longer exist. If they are still hanging on then according to verse 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

We are saved by the grace through faith of Jesus Christ. and All things, not some, not a few, not this or that, ALL thing become new. if not then Jesus died for nothing. It is time to make a choice. Old or New. that is why I believe Philippians 3:15-16 (NIV) 15 All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 16 Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

This verse is very clear about what we should be doing and that is growing and that is what I am hoping to help each one to do is grow. It is time for some to grow up it is time to get off the milk and get on some solid food and if not… Philippians 3:18 (NIV) For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. There are some trying to serve two Masters and that can not be done so then Philippians 3:19 (NIV) Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. This is why I pray that we all can start Following Paul’s Example.
