A TRULY CHRISTIAN LIFE

Jesus said to the Jews: "If you were the children of Abraham, Abraham's case would"

( John 8.39 ). This same idea was in the preaching of John the Baptist ( Matthew 3.9 ). Because most of them were established in the flesh and not on business, and thus deprived of the right to be his descendants.

Only those can be called Christians, who follow Christ ( Luke 6.46 , 1 John 2.6 ).

This means-to follow his teachings-teachings of the light, goodness, love.

However, we are by nature more prone to evil rather than good. Though we have the desire for good, but do good are powerless. "Good, you want to do, and the evil, which does not want to do" ( Rome 7.19 ).

Moreover, our sins against God and men (thoughts, words, frustration, resentment, the unfulfilled obligations, carelessness, rudeness, errors) are more distress on ourselves than on those people against whom we have sinned. Often appears thought (especially in old age) begin life first, and think that in this life would have avoided the mistakes of the past.

 

One of the American poets says:

 

I would like to

To a wonderful place

Called by the

Started again,

Where all our errors

Heart pain

And proud gusts

WE COULD WITH A SHAKE,

As the decrepit clothes

And never

Do not wear it again.

 

The strength of the Christian life

A person cannot change his nature:

Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the Leopard its spots? And you can do good, get used to do evil?

Jeremiah 13.23

We are not be in peace with each other. Paltry trivia and mutual misunderstanding are blame, leading to trouble and strife. Again, we repeat the words of the Apostle Paul ( Romans 7.19 ).

Only God can change our nature:

It will to weary the grants. Tire and boys and weaken, and hope in the Lord will be updated in effect: lift the wings as Eagles, will flow and not get tired, go-and not always.

Isaiah 40.29-31

It will do this through the Holy Spirit ( Acts 1.8 ).

People must "be born again" ( John 3.5 ) because PEOPLE GIVE BIRTH to HIMSELF COULD NOT: neither SPIRITUALLY nor physically.

WATER is a symbol of God's Word

SPIRIT - a symbol of the ability to live according to the word of God by the power of the Holy Spirit

The word of God teaches us how to live, and the spirit of God is the power that helps you live life ( 1 Pet 1.22-23,

2.1-2 ).

This person must take a decisive step to CONCLUDE a COVENANT with the Lord and not go to the surrounding  ( 2 Cor 5.17, Ephesus 4.17-24 ).

 

The practice of the Christian life

Many who call themselves Christians, FAR FROM this concept. The reason is that they are looking at how to do the other.

Jesus came to Earth to save the lost  ( Luke 19.10 ).

Example – ZACCHAEUS :

He earnestly looked for salvation and climbed a tree to see Jesus ( v.4 )

-Jesus spotted him as the notices of each men  ( v.5 )

-He repented of his sins and decided to correct ( v.8 )

He DID THIS to think about what WILL TELL the NEIGHBORS ( v.7 )

As a result he was awarded-recognized as righteous by faith ( v.9 )

Not have knowledge of the word of God. You want to still live on it. Who does this, doomed. Acting as these words (you shall love God and passing) will be rewarded ( Luke 10.25-28 ).

MAIN QUALITY IS LOVE.

Love brings significant benefit to man, though, as there are other people, or what is happening in the outside world. Love nothing hinder cannot, and everyone, the MORE LOVE, more and more, NOT ONLY is HAPPY and joyful, but also makes the happy and JOYFUL people. Try to love someone we loved, who denounced and humiliated us. And if it can be done, we will learn new and joyous feeling.

DO GOOD FRIENDS OF YOURS THAT THEY LOVED YOU EVEN MORE.

DO IT TO HIS ENEMIES, SO THEY BECAME EVER FRIENDS.
