Bible Reading: Jeremiah 11-12; 1 Timothy 4
“As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:” – Colossians 2:6
God has made it so simple for anybody to become His child by simply believing the truth of the Gospel; Jesus Christ. John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:”
When we receive Jesus into our hearts, our Christian walk begins and our path is design to shine brighter and brighter “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” – Proverbs 4:18. Our text says that the way we receive Him is the same way we walk in Him to live the glorious Christian life.
Salvation and a fruitful Christian walk are only possible through confessing with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in our heart’s that God has raised Him from the dead. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” – Romans 10:9-10
The way God has designed for us to believe and be fruitful is by sending His Word to us so that we can hear, understand by the help of the Holy Spirit. Then believe and confess with our mouths to receive the promises of God in living a victorious Christian life.
Also God provided us with Shepherds and pastors after His heart to guide us with knowledge and understanding in our walk with Him for a glorious Christian life.
So let’s take advantage of God’s Word to guarantee our victory in life always!
Prayer: Father, thank you for Your wonderful Word that has brought me salvation and victory in Christ.
