In these end times when deception, superficiality, selfishness and lawlessness abound, true Christianity calls us to live our lives in a manner that is deeply rooted upon our faith in the True and Living God. It's a call to earnestly seek and pursue God's will, transforming our lives by the power of the Holy Spirit and making a lasting impact for the Kingdom of Christ. True faith is more than just a belief; it's a dynamic, powerful, active journey of obedience and love.
Seeking God's Will
At the heart of true Christianity is the relentless pursuit of God's will. This journey is far from passive; it's an active, intentional, passionate effort to align our desires and actions with God's heart and His plan for our lives. Seeking His will means spending time in prayer, diving into the Scriptures, being attentive and obedient to His guiding voice, manifested by the presence of the Holy Spirit within us. It’s a daily commitment to seek God more deeply and to live out His purposes for our lives.
Pursuing God's will pushes us out of our comfort zones. It will require making choices that go against cultural norms, and taking action that demands faith. True Christianity urges us to prioritize God's desires above our own, trusting that His plans are far wiser and more fulfilling than anything we could ever imagine.
A Transformed Life as Evidence
When we truly seek and obey God's will, the evidence clearly shows in our transformed lives. A life guided by the Triune God is one that reflects profound changes in character, values, and actions; embodying the love, grace, power and truth of Jesus Christ. This transformation isn't just about personal growth but more about becoming a living testament to God's power, and a willing vessel to fulfill His divine plans for our lives.
Authentic Christianity calls for a visible change that powerfully impacts those around us. Our actions, words, and choices should testify to the change within us. We're called to be salt and light in the world, reflecting God's love and proclaiming His truth to everyone whose paths we cross. This transformation is a continual process, as we grow in our faith and desire to become more like Christ every day.
Faith Is Not Static
A significant part of true Christianity is stepping out in faith and love. Faith isn't a static belief but a dynamic force that drives us into action. It calls us to trust God completely and move forward in obedience to His call. Love is the force behind our actions, motivating us to please God and serve others by showing compassion and extending grace.
Service for the Kingdom of Christ will mean reaching out in love to those who need help, and sharing the gospel with those who haven't heard and experienced God's truth. When we step out in faith and love, we become instruments of God's grace, bringing hope and transformation to a world in need.
Making an Impact for the Kingdom of Christ
As true followers of Jesus, we’re called to be agents of change in our homes, communities, workplaces, and beyond. Our faith should inspire us to take action and work towards building a world that reflects God's love and mercies.
Making an impact for the Kingdom of Christ involves using our spiritual gifts, God-given talents, and resources to further God's purposes on earth. It means being proactive in our faith, looking for opportunities to serve, and being a source of encouragement and support to others. As we actively pursue God's will, we become co-laborers with Christ in His mission to bring salvation, healing, restoration, and hope to a broken world.
True Christianity calls us to purposefully chase after God's will, marked by our all-encompassing transformation, faith, and love. It challenges us to step out boldly and make a real impact for the Kingdom of Christ. Embracing this overarching calling allows us to become powerful and living testimonies of God's grace, and instruments of His love in a lost and dying world that desperately needs His eternal light. Let's commit to seeking and pursuing God's will, knowing that in doing so, we are fulfilling our purpose as followers of Christ and advancing His Kingdom work.
