All in Living Our Faith

We claim we are children of the one true God, and that we have accepted Jesus Christ as our savior, and we might even say that we have been born again in the Spirit, but are we living a spiritual life? Have we actually crucified our old selves, or does that old person of the past still linger on and continue to haunt and dominate who we are? We might pray every day, but are they sincere prayers; even heathens can string words together. It is only when we are living a truly spiritual life, and our old selves have been left behind us, that we can truly walk as we should, and pray with the power we have been promised!

Do we spend an inordinate amount of time trying to achieve the perfection of Jesus Christ and too little time just living out our daily lives like He did? Are we wrapped up in searching for some hidden meaning in God’s Word at the expense of just living out the obvious things scripture teaches us? Our goal should be to follow Jesus and learn at His feet, but we can't do that unless we are walking with Him and making camp where He makes camp. Are we doing this? Are we reading scripture with the open minds of children?
