Do You Know?

Considering that the physical world is of no consequence eternally and that life is only found in God … what keeps us from being completely focused on the depths of God’s Word, the rule of the Spirit of God in our lives, and living in the work of Jesus Christ?   If we believe and our faith is real do we have a different desire?  When we do not maintain this singular priority in our life, doesn’t this tell what our actual beliefs in the priority of God are?

Every moment we should ask these questions:
1. Do I know that there is one and only one living God?
2. Do I believe in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
3. Do I believe that His sacrifice bore my sins and I am forgiven by God’s grace?
4. Do I know that the Spirit of God dwells inside my innermost being?

If we know these things, what then should have a greater authority?  What should interrupt our faith?

The struggle of life, though presented in almost every way imaginable, is simply the fight for faith.  When we stop focusing on the salvation, Word and presence of God, we focus on a different authority.  Our faith fails.  There must be an intentional effort of study, prayer, and contemplation in focus on Jesus Christ since He overcame this world.  When we rest in Him the world notices, but continues towards anarchy.  Christians walking in full faith completely submitted to the Spirit of the one true living God are able to walk daily confidently expecting miracles of God.  The first being their very salvation and His purpose in them.
