We can get caught up and love the good works, the idea of going to church and leave our first love, Jesus. Don’t get caught up in Christianity, the acts of it and not love Jesus and have a relationship with Him. Christianity without the love of Jesus is like being married and not loving your spouse. You say I can be married without a wife. We have to be all about Jesus, with Jesus, in Jesus and for Jesus. We are to seek things that are above, look up to Jesus and not be concerned so much about things on the earth. We need to look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our Faith. Look to Jesus who died on the cross, rose again and is now sitting on the right hand of God in Heaven. Keep your eyes and thoughts on Jesus. This whole life down here is like street traffic we go through on our journey to Heaven and Jesus. We should invest our time and energy in things of God and the home we have with the Lord Jesus. We have a new life in Jesus so take off the old self that died and put on the new self that we got through Jesus. Stop doing the old self things like anger, wrath, malice, bad thoughts and evil words out of our mouth. Put off our old practices and put them in the garbage can. Put them out of our minds. We must put them off. Don’t get caught up in greed and lust because now we love Jesus. We do this not just because it’s in the rule book but because we love Jesus. The new you is being made new again with the knowledge of Him that has created you. It’s like we are going back to the book of Genesis. We are remade into the image of God. We are to be a picture of God’s nature. It is like when a son looks like his dad and acts like his dad. Jesus is God’s image and He came to renew us into God’s image. We are all in Jesus Christ because He is all in all no matter your race, gender or economic status. There are no dividing lines and in Christ Jesus we are one! When people see us, let them see our Heavenly Father in us. Amen Post Reply

If you don't know what that means then a person needs to seek God for the answer. Any man can say they are a Christian. It's just a label for many people. Post Reply

If God has anyone to hate their life, they will be serving Go, as you cannot serve God when you love your life. That is the relationship, being a servant, no longer serving ourselves, that;s the wrong message, and looking at what Jesus calls us to lose, when it is loosing our life to find it again..Luke 14:16-33 Mark 10:18-30, or all talk is too cheap.. John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

This was their actions during all their life with Christ in them: Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men. This is how they concluded their doctrine of God.. Acts 21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. Revelation 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

You do well when you quote only scripture because we all need to read more of that. Nonetheless, your haphazard comments not only reveal your ignorance but detract from the scripture quotes Post Reply
