π Living The Christian Life Is NOW Possible! π
π1 Samuel 2:9 "...for by strength shall no man prevail."
The Christian life isn’t just DIFFICULT to live—it’s IMPOSSIBLE!
πRomans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
In your flesh, you can’t do what the Lord has told you to do. Reliance on human strength and effort is a wasteful reliance, seeing that it produces nothing of significance. Nothing of eternal value comes from the flesh (self effort).
πJohn 6:63 "It is the spirit that quickeneth; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING..."
It’s natural to be
π self-serving
π self-seeking, and
π self-promoting.
This is what religion promotes. Christianity is NOT a RELIGION; it's a RELATIONSHIP! Religion is driven by SELFISHNESS but Christianity (which is a relationship with God made possible only through faith in Jesus Christ) is powered by SELFLESSNESS.
For example:
π€·π»♂ If somebody slaps you on the cheek, you want to hit both of theirs. (But see πMatt 5:39)
π€·π»♂ If someone takes something from you through a lawsuit, you want to hire the best lawyer to sue them back. (But see πMatt 5:40)
π HOWEVER, God has told you to:
π π DO THE OPPOSITE.π
πRomans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
I have come to realize that without SUPERNATURAL ASSISTANCE, it’s impossible to do what Jesus commands!
πZechariah 4:6 "...This is the Word of the Lord...saying...Not by might, nor by power, BUT BY MY SPIRIT, saith the LORD of hosts."
That’s why Paul declared, “It’s no longer me that lives, but Christ who lives through me” (πGal. 2:20).
There’s a tremendous amount of LIBERTY that comes with:
π RECOGNIZING Christ in you
and
π RELEASING Christ in you.
When you recognize that you have the SAME SPIRIT Jesus had, you’ll walk with supernatural strength and love. What was impossible becomes possible!
π1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is JOINED unto the Lord is ONE SPIRIT.
So, with the Spirit of Christ in us, living the victorious Christian life is NOW possible.
He's the One Who enables us to "walk in love", which is ultimately what the Christian life is all about.
πRomans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts BY THE HOLY GHOST which is given unto us.
Through the Spirit of Christ in us, WE CAN live SELFLESSLY instead of SELFISHLY!
πGalatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
ππ»May everything good from God be yours IN JESUS Name! π
