Daily devotion – living a new life!
Ever heard someone say, “Church is boring!” Too often those words have rung out with no response from the hearers to those making the claim.
Never have such words been so wrong as these! Jesus said, “The Son gives life to whom He will.” He also went onto say, John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Never ever could a believer in Christ say that living for Christ, being part of His Church, is boring! In fact, I would go as far to say those who speak such words probably don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Because the moment you come to Christ, you have your sins forgiven, and receive God’s grace and the Holy Spirit take up residency within you, life actually begins.
You change from a dead person in sin to a living soul in Christ – 2Co 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
For the first time you begin to live with a capital “L”. There’s a spring in your step, a joy in your soul, and a peace in your heart. Life has taken on a new outlook.
Too many Christians let themselves get bogged down by the cares and routines of daily living. Don’t let that happen to you.
Ask God to help you live each day with eternity in view and enjoy this blessed new life Christ has given you as His gift!
