1 John 2:6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.
Most of the young Christians are ignorant about what it means to be a
Christian. We might be reading Bible, going to church and praying and not know the essence of being a true Christian. It is important for every
Christian to understand that the aim of a Christian must be to follow Christ
and to be like Him. If our thoughts and actions are not according to the
teachings and commands of Jesus Christ, we are losing a lot of good things in
life. He is the perfect example of a truly successful man on earth. No man is
as rich as Christ and no man has risen from the dead like Christ and no man possessed
the highest office like that of Christ. He owns the whole universe, the Heavens
and the earth and He is the High Priest for God Almighty. All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to Him by Almighty Father.
He says to set your
eyes on heavenly things that are permanent and not on the worldly things that
will pass away. Many of us are living lives according to our own understandings
of good and bad. We judge things according to the society we live in. But that
is not what God wants us to be like. He wants us to follow Him and be truly
successful. World around us is failed because of its sins.
The importance of solved papers we all know. We score well if we study the
already solved papers. And Jesus is the solved paper for our life’s
examination. Jesus has answers to all the day to day puzzles and He
successfully helps us to overcome those problems, there by triumphing over our
adversaries. If we live according to His teachings, He promises us His Peace.
He gives it not as this world gives. This world will never give us a permanent
peace but, He will give that which cannot be taken away by anyone. When we let
His will be in our lives, He takes care of all that we have. He says when the
earthly parents who are not as rich in love and mercy as God is, are able to
provide their children with good things, then how much more will the Heavenly
Father bless His children who love Him and follow Him.
Being obedient to God is the only way to please Him. Jesus showed
obedience to God His Father in everything. Even to the point of death He showed
obedience, so that through His act of obedience produce the fruits and fruits
eternal. He could take back His life after taking the keys of death from the
hands of the deceiver.
And also being obedient to God will make us become righteous in the sight of
God, we can live the holy lives that He is expecting us to live and bear fruits
that are by the Spirit. Our love for God is shown in our actions, in our
obedience to His will. When our will becomes the will of God, then we truly
love Him and seek Him. Do not doubt His will, because He is faithful, the most
faithful. His will in our lives will produce fruits that are going to give
happiness to both the Father and the Child.
I would like to give one of the many examples from the life of Jesus
Christ when He was in this world. It is that He never obeyed or did that which Satan
told Him to do. Satan tempted Him for food, riches of this world and at one
point the Satan even asks Jesus to jump off from a high point so that the
angles might save Him from hitting the rocks below. But our Lord Jesus Christ knew
that by doing so He will be testing the Almighty Father. We will test if we are
to make sure about something. Jesus Christ knew His Father and He knew how much
the Father loved Him. Sometimes in our lives too will face such situations
after knowing God’s will. After we have stepped according to God’s will, we
will encounter the problems that might test our faith in Him. Satan will
certainly play with our minds to make us do things that fail us. But we need to
know that just trusting God and being with Him is the most important one.
Remember how Jesus was attended by the angles after the Satan, the tempter
left. We are here to be tested and not God tested by us. Please do not confuse yourselves with the testing to know the will of God in the 1st
place. We can ask God to show us His will by asking Him to do certain things so
as to indicate that we are in the right path of understanding His will.
If we are focused on the life of our Lord Jesus Christ, He will
certainly help us to become better day by day in life and give us peace,
health, wealth, success and His Kingdom and the right to become His children.
May God bless you!
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven we thank you for your word and seek your
will in our lives. We pray to you to teach us your ways and lead us in your
light. Strengthen our faith in you and give us the heart of obedience towards
you so that we may have lives that you have shaped.
To dear God our Father and Jesus
Christ our savior be all thanks and all praise and all glory forever and ever. Amen.
