I considered what are the main facts that I should live by in this Christian life. I came up with five facts that I can, so to speak, "take to the bank." Here they are: 1. He loves us beyond measure! 2. He died to set us free! 3. He now lives in us! 4. My job is simply learning to let Him live and operate in and through me! 5. He will return soon in bodily form to fully manifest His kingdom on earth - with and through His saints! PRAISE THE LORD - HE'S GOT THIS!!!

I embraced and spoke this saying just before going under the knife for quadruple by-pass surgery. That was over 3 years ago. He truly "had this."

You do don't get it? This is a fact that you must live by. The problem with trying to make tidy five point lists, is someone is going to come along and add one. Would you choose to leave "judge not" off your list? I will not. 1 hour ago, Vine Abider said: 4. My job is simply learning to let Him live and operate in and through me!

Just sharing what I enjoyed this morning . . . if it nourishes someone - great! If not, so be it & forget it. There is no condemnation . . . zero, zilch, nada, nyet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made no attempt to condemn you. If it sounds like judging to you, bro, that's your skin not mine. In my second post I simply made my first post a subset of your number four, which was sufficiently vague to allow examples of how we "simply learning to let Him live and operate in and through me!" Can that be accomplished with favoritism? I am not trying to oppose your desire to share your thoughts, but when you post them in a discussion forum, others are going to share theirs in response to yours, right?

My job is simply learning to let Him live and operate in and through me! There is so much to the above that some could write dissertations for months using this simple statement as a starting point. Here are some scriptural truths seeded in that statement: Walking in the Spirit is there; Loving the Lord is certainly included; Loving our neighbor as ourselves is expressed; Being conformed to the image of the Son of God is implied; Serving others as Christ serves us is contained therein; All without the need to delve into any of the above with painstaking detail. An economy of words is pleasing to the Lord! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
