The Joyful Christian Life
We hear that life is short and that what we do for Christ is of great effect for our eternal life but how many folks actually sense that our relationship with God is real?
By comparison to my remembrance of "school days"....if I had only really caught on to the reality of what being an excellent student in my early school days would do to strengthen and profit me as an adult I would have actually studied and excelled in school.
Now I often have thoughts “What if I could relive those "school days" over again; which which non of us can go back in time, starting over again as a school child; but knowing the enormous value studying and learning would do for me.
But no, my focus and desire was to play and have a good time.
By comparison, since this life is "but a flash in the continuum of time", it would seem that all of us who are Born Again in Jesus our Savior will want to share our Heavenly Father’s gift of Salvation through Jesus now, and while we still can.
So be encouraged to get involved with a small bible study group wherever you live, read your bible daily and grow spiritually, increasing with ability to attract people to Jesus.
No need to be surprised that in doing so God will also increase your own joy and confidence.
It isn't hard to bring joy to others when you remain in God's word, the Bible.
Jesus Did Not Come to Condemn
"For God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved." John 3:17
