Daily we are either living in God fearing reverence giving God praise or complacent neglect or absolute denial. When thinking about an average day in your life in line with this, is a mirror to our heart, mind, and soul. Living in a state of mind that does not have humble reverence and praise for God leaves us open for days upon end without purpose other than self. Self walks down a path of “here and now”, giving no thought to God or His love, judgement, or eternity. This is a fight within our very being. Our sinful nature, left on its own, will walk paths separated from God. Living for God, staying in His word and learning from it yields a continual transformation in our lives. This transformation starts with a new birth, a new beginning, a life with purpose found in forgiveness of sin, by faith, through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”
” Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”
