As a professing Christians you need to be emphasizing Jesus Christ and walking on that narrow path that will lead you to heaven!
Romans 15:5-6 (NIV)
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus did not show partiality to accepting people or in healing their diseases when He walked this earth as the Son of man. Can we assume the same attitude? In this cursed world most of us may not be able to emulate such a Christ-like attitude! There exists in this country many different forms of society and most of us are affected by some parts of these attitudes, and social media ideas creep into our minds that do not really belong to us! If you have not included regular attendance at a church of your choice you will not have the ability to understand this world as it truly exists!
Most of us find like-minded people to associate with, and some of us join some type of a club or join some exercise club and then find people there who somewhat share similar interests with us. As professing Christians, we should find a church attended by people who share attitudes encouraged by belief in Jesus Christ. Paul wrote about this to the church in Rome, and for us today, when he wrote, “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.” As Christians we should be trying to inspire our church to become like minded, “so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
When Jesus left this earth and returned to heaven He left the Holy Spirit behind to enable His followers to be inspired by this Spirit of the Triune God, so that we can become like-minded in every thought in this world in everyday life, not just when we are in attendance at the church of our choice! We can ether follow the worldly thought process, or we can rely on Jesus Christ being the ultimate answer to every question we face in this life.
Jesus told us about how we should think while we live in this world, and how we must devote ourselves to concentrate our thinking and our endeavors around heavenly thinking and trying to first fulfill accumulation of heavenly wealth before gaining worldly wealth. Jesus said, "No-one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.” (Matthew 6:24). Jesus is telling His followers that amassing worldly wealth is not wrong, but it is to take second place to working on gaining wealth through heavenly knowledge! Are you studying God’s Word every day? Are you a member of a Bible Study class at your church, or one conducted somewhere else?
Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth, and for us about doing our best to try to be agreeable when we study with other professing Christians. I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. (1 Corinthians 1:10). Worldly minded people are likely to disagree on almost everything they consider to be important to them. As a professing Christians you need to be emphasizing Jesus Christ and walking on that narrow path that will lead you to heaven! We are all on the same path that Jesus maintains for us!
If you are seeking a perfect church and thus you do not attend a church regularly, remember all churches are being conducted by people who have a sinful nature, and thus just like all other organizations in this cursed world there will be mistakes made, and no perfection is possible. Paul somewhat reminded the Galatians to be careful how they used their freedom given by their salvation, at least that is how I read it. You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. (Galatians 5:13).
God granted Solomon profound knowledge so he could lead God’s chosen people. Many people today seem to think they know how God thinks, and they believe what members of humankind tell them about how this world was created and how it continues to exist. Solomon wrote, “As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. “(Ecclesiastes 11:5). Our Bible tells us God’s account of how and when this universe was created in His book, we call Genesis! However, many professing Christians and Christian churches believe man’s ideas of how God used evolution to do it!
Evolutionists would say death and struggle led to man’s existence. Our Bible says man’s rebellious actions led to death. Original sin, with death as a result, is the basis of the gospel. That is why Jesus Christ came and what the gospel is all about. If the First Adam is only an allegorical figure, then why not the Last Adam (1 Cor. 15:45-47), Jesus Christ? If man did not really fall into sin, there is no need for a Savior. Evolution destroys the very foundations of Christianity because it states, “Death is, and always has been, part of life.”
Here is what I believe to be God’s prophesied account of Jesus’ creation of mankind on this earth! Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. (Genesis 1:26-29).
Your immortal soul was created in your mother’s womb, and it was given immortal life, and it will end up in heaven or hell at the end of time and destruction of this cursed world. Follow Jesus Christ to heaven, or do not worry, just be happy for now! True happiness is found in knowing that heaven awaits you, so just be happy in Jesus!
