--WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN LIFE?
---(Please Read/ Titus 3:4-7)

--The Christian Life is just that—a life, not simply a set of rules. Sadly, a lot of churches preach Christianity as a list of dos and don’ts. Then faith looks like a formula: 'Jesus’ saving grace plus doing good things minus doing bad things equals righteousness.' Most of us have enough problems without worrying about whether we’re following the extra-biblical rules of a church.

A man-made formula for righteousness runs counter to scriptural teaching.. Not only did Jesus condemn the Pharisees’ heavy-handed religion, but He Himself offered liberty through grace (Matt. 23:1-4; John 8:36). Neither keeping God’s law by self-effort nor adhering to extra rules makes a person free. Legalistic believers are in bondage and growing ever weaker.

When a person accepts the saving grace of Jesus Christ, he or she receives a new life. (See Rom. 6:4-7.) This is not an uptight lifestyle of doing good works. A believer is a changed person—the same body but a transformed mind and heart. Christ lives through you.. His Holy Spirit flows into your spirit just as sap runs in a grapevine. It’s like getting a spiritual blood transfusion! Strength pumps into places where weakness once prevailed. Why rely upon your frail self when the courage and power to follow God’s will are available through Christ?

-I know what it feels like to burn out from trying to do good in my own strength. My desire for you is that you’ll surrender to the Lord. Depend upon Him to change you from the inside out, and trust that He will. Jesus is your life. He will never get tired of transforming you.

-["Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
'We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf; Be reconciled to God. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." --(2 Corinthians 5:17-21)]
Please, if you hear God speaking to your heart, as He speaks to all, but few listen, Come to Christ as your Lord and Savior. He died so that you can live eternally with Him. You can only do this by asking Him to come into your life, repenting of your sins, and turning away from your old sinful life and following Christ Jesus. //--IN CHRIST ALONE~ / Phillips, Craig, Dean ~~
