The best Way to live our Life
All things considered, the best way to live our life is to anchor our daily life on the Jesus Christ, the Son of God revealed in the Bible thousands of years ago in human history. We as humanity need the power greater than us to explain the mystery of life in one dimension or another. The Christian faith solves that mysterious dilemma for us. The Bible describes faith as “The assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). The Bible also affirms, “The Lord God is good to those who hope in Him, to the one who seeks Him” (Lamentations 3:25).
Several years ago in my Christian experience I heard a statement about the Christian faith that has remained indelible in me since, never forgotten! It said that the Christian faith is not a religion, but a personal relationship with God Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth through Jesus Christ. That God who we cannot see, but of His unconditional love, revealed Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ. The mysterious birth of Jesus is a historical fact and reality for the benefit of mankind (John 3:16).
Anchoring our life on this Jesus makes sense because He said in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, but I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly”. That’s the primary mission of Jesus, God’s Son, to give us life more abundantly. That’s the kind of life that is meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling with joy, peace and contentment. It is a life of truth, righteousness and integrity enabled by power of the Holy Spirit, God Christ presence and power inside us. The world religion, and there are many of them cannot give us the kind of life the Jesus gives as we intentionally trust Him by faith for our daily life. In another place at John 14:6, Jesus emphatically said, “I am the way, and truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”.
In our lostness, uncertainty and predicaments and struggles of life, we find direction in and through faith in Jesus.
How do we intentionally and strategically begin this kind of life anchored in Jesus? It is by admitting, confessing and renouncing our sinful life style, asking for forgiveness and inviting Jesus into our heart and life as Savior and Lord and daily live for Him. His promised presence of the Holy Spirit will henceforth be our Comforter, Teacher, Guide, Enabler and Intercessor henceforth in our journey of life. We need Jesus to help us in every area of our life where we may be struggling unable to help ourselves.
Dear reader, are you struggling with life and challenges and difficulties of life seem to overwhelm you? We are encouraged to invite Jesus into our life and situations by faith to let Him help us through this life and eternity. Thereafter, maintain a life of daily meditation on the the word of God, the Bible and prayer, find a Bible believing Church where you will fellowship regularly and grow in your Christian experience. Please be reminded that the Christian faith is a daily lifestyle, not a religion where people struggle to find God instead of believing and trusting in the revealed God through Jesus Christ. May God help us to find and trust in Him and start living a life of authenticity that is secured in Christ. Amen.
