---CHRISTIAN / LIVING IN A FALLEN WORLD~~

--(Please Read // 2 Corinthians 6:14-17; 2 Corinthians 7:1)

["For the Word of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it
is the power of God. --(1 Corinthians 1:18) ]

~~~When Adam and Eve listened to Satan in the garden of Eden, the world was invaded by sin, and we’ve been battling it ever since. Over time, our world has become morally and spiritually contaminated.

We’re born physically alive but spiritually dead and in rebellion against the Lord (Eph. 2:1-2). Yet by trusting Jesus as our Savior, we receive a new nature and the gift of the Holy Spirit. This means believers have the power to say no to wrongdoing and yes to godliness (2 Peter 1:3).

With our new identity as children of God, we no longer share the same nature or purpose of unbelievers. Followers of Jesus are called to serve as His ambassadors, spreading knowledge of the Savior and yearning for righteousness. We exchange our own desires for His, admit when we’ve sinned, and ask for His forgiveness. But these values often make little sense to those who don’t know Christ.

Maintaining a godly focus in the world is difficult, but we can find support and encouragement from others who have received Jesus Christ as their Savior. Intimate friends and trusted advisors will help us stay pointed toward the Son.

[Friends, we all have lost loved ones, family members, and friends. But we must remind ourselves that it is the Holy Spirit who does the convicting, not us. We continue living the Christian life. Sometimes the Lord will open a door for us to minister His Word. We are vessels for the Lord. Remember Paul saying, "Some plant (the seed of the Word), some water it, but God gives the increase." [1 Corinthians 3: verses 6-7]~~]
