Are You on the Road to Personal Destruction?

MESSAGE SUMMARY: God has told us that we are His children and citizens of Heaven. God has given us the Holy Spirit as a pledge of our inheritance as His children. Also, God gave us the Holy Spirit provide us with the power to live Spiritual lives. However, far too many of us continue to live and to act as “enemies of the Cross of Christ” by having our mind focused on earthly things and our belly as the lord of our life. If this picture of life actions and focus describes you, then you very well may be on the road to destruction. If so, then return to Jesus and His way of doing things -- His pattern of discipleship, servanthood, and submission. Paul, in Philippians 3:18-20, defines an “enemy of the Cross of Christ: “For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.". Have your life focus driven by the realization that we are His children and citizens of Heaven; therefore, we and our lives are all precious to God since He sacrificed so much to adopt us as His children.

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will seek God’s perspective on my situation.  For I know that in all things God works together for good to those of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (From Romans 8:28).
