Existence Is Not Livung

Good Morning!! Life versus no life. There are people who believe in Christ and those who don’t. The Scripture says, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him” (John 3:36). There are three kinds of people: natural, carnal and spiritual. The natural man doesn’t know, or want to know Christ,...and has never been " born again." The spiritual man is one who lives the normative Christian life. And those carnal people are the babes, or immature believers in Christ.

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.—John 10:10 (NIV)

Maybe you’re a Christian, and you could confidently say, "I am saved. I know I’m going to heaven." But that’s all it means to some,...just fire insurance for the future. You’re certain of heaven, but you’re not quite certain why you’re certain. And the fact is that you’re not enjoying the Christian life,...the abundant life. And then…there are those believers who have heaven as their hope and future home, and they hold it in their hearts. That, my friend, is having abundant life! Unfortunately, some people think that the spirit-filled Christian life is only for missionaries, ministers, and church leaders, and that the rest of us should just sort of grin and bear it through life until we can get to heaven.

Those who have never experienced new life in Christ still live,...they have existence, but no life.

Father God, I know You want us, Christians, to live a vibrant, victorious, dynamic, and delightful spirit-filled lives. We don’t want to bring the Bible down to our own experience, as many people often do. Help us to always seek above all else, to do what Your Word commands, and promises. Allow us to live the abundant life Christ has promised, today. Amen.

" Faith does not mean the death of your old fun, old freedom, and old live,...Faith is the injection of REAL life into what you only Thought was life before."
