Forfeiting your freedom in the Living Christ!

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; andthese are they which testify of Me.But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.” John 5:39-40

This is about becoming a religious believer or a follower of the Living Christ. Jesus spent much of His life on earth confronting the religious leaders who did not want anything to do with Him. They were paralyzed into following laws and did not want the freedom of Jesus.

The entirety of the Bible points people to Jesus. It is impossible to read scripture and practice religion to find the Living Christ.

The Living Christ does not respond to keeping laws, doing works or immersing yourself in religion. 

The Living Christ can be found by making a personal decision to live for Him. This is giving up your independence and rights to Jesus.

The believer agrees to die to self and live for Jesus. 

The goal is to build a personal and symbiotic relationship with Jesus built on faith and obedience.

Faith is a lifestyle of reaching out to Jesus for your every need.

Obedience is responding to the instructions of Jesus with complicity regardless of the personal cost or lack of logic.

The Christ follower is devoted to doing the good, acceptable and perfect will of Jesus through prayer and yielding to the Holy Spirit.

We live in the world but we are not of the world. We belong to Jesus.

We walk in oneness with Jesus trusting His promises and not what we see with our eyes.

Come to Jesus. This will be the best decision you will ever make!
