Living The Christian Life

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Romans 10:4 (NKJV)

That’s a powerful verse. It means that faith in Christ supersedes the law.

Our right standing with God has nothing to do with our efforts or any conditions we feel we need to fulfill.

Faith in Christ has become our freedom. Nothing can be added… nothing.

What do we do with this freedom?

Living the Christian life is what we do with it.

What rules and obligations govern the Christian life? Eat this, not that? Give this not that?
Or is it obedience that comes from faith? The fruit of faith… being led by the spirit of God, being formed to the image of Christ, shaped and fashioned by the hand of God.

A life freely surrendered to the revelation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:38-39

New International Version

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

Trust The Farmer’s Fence

Some years ago in a lion-infested country, farmers would keep their cattle locked up in a kraal with a wooden fence enclosing them and it was strong enough that no lion could break in. But when the clever lion would roar at midnight the cattle did not know enough to trust the farmer’s fence. Terrified, they’d stampede until they themselves broke down their only protection.

All the lion had to do to get those cattle was simply roaring and sit back and wait for food. Please trust God’s love and protection. Don’t let fear caused by the roaring of the devil break down that fence of protection!

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Romans 8:31
