'Christ in You...'
by Dale Krebbs
Our lives are made up of many things - uncertainties, fears, guilt, worry, insecurity. The list may go on. Life is made of small things generally. The only seem large when they are pressed too close together.
But above all these things, you have been sealed forever from the time you first really believed in Jesus from your heart.
The summation of your life has been settled the day you believed in Him and asked Him to guide your life. Love - His love with yours - it is the sum of all things, the summation of all. If you love Jesus Christ, and are unconditionally devoted to Him, then all is well in your life.
Even in the tough times. In large things, and in the small things. Your love for Him, and His love for you will cover a multitude of sins. Nothing can come between you and Him. Not other people (good or bad), not unseen and unsettling events, not worries, not losses, not winning or loosing in life endeavors.
NOTHING can separate you from the love God the Father and your Savior Jesus Christ. Believing this will give you wonderful peace. No matter what happens.
These assurances being true - and they are! because God and His word never lies, open your mind and heart with the wonderful assurances that He paid for you to believe and receive. These assurances being true as they are, there is nothing...NOTHING - that can separate you from your destiny.
Until He returns for you, in faith live in the peace and joy He bought you!
The writer of Ecclesiastes wrote what some think is a very negative comment about life. However, he was only illustrating a point. That point being that someone who does not know God or Jesus Christ is in a very pitiful condition. He lived and wrote in a time long before Jesus came to settle all doubts and futile living.
He illustrated that even a person who knows nothing of the truth of the salvation to come is still better off to live as though He did know the truth of eternal salvation. How much more so now that Jesus has come and paid for and forgiven all our sins. With that assurance, what a wonderful way to live, when we apply what he said to the time after the Savior has come. The following should be applied to every genuine Christian for all of their live. Notice:
" Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart [if you are righteous, wise, and in the hands of God], for God has already accepted your works. Let your garments be always white [with purity], and let your head not lack [the] oil [of gladness]." - Ecclesiastes 9:7-8
Now that Jesus has come, this way to live can be lived by every genuine Christian.
Some today ask, "where is the joy of my Christian belief?" Solomon in a few short words hit on the answer. Unfortunately, he may not have been able to live the way he understood.
But this is sure: his few words belong to you and me if we believe in Jesus as our Savior.
