Possessing the right perspective is a powerful weapon of warfare. Everything we lose while we serve God, we really never lose it!!! When we apparently lose something in the Kingdom of God, it is a temporary situation because God will replace it with something better and more beneficial. Many times what we lose was actually unnecessary and even harmful to our future and destiny. Mark 10:28-30 says: “Peter said to him, “We have left everything to follow you!” “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life”. Notice: God will restore it in this life, and grants us eternal life in Christ. So instead of always thinking loss, remember that you are part of the Kingdom of God, and if you do lose something, it will be replaced with something far better, Hallelujah!
This “so called Christian” is a phony!
There are many people who say they are Christian, or followers of Christ. Yet, when we speak to “Christians,” their views are all over the place. some feel that we should live one way, and others feel that we should live another way. This will only create confusion, and as it relates to eternal life, only one book has the bedrock solid truth, and that it is sacred scriptures. 1 John 2: 3-5 says: “Here’s how we can be sure that we’ve truly come to know God: if we keep his commands. If someone claims, “I have come to know God by experience,” yet doesn’t keep God’s commands, he is a phony and the truth finds no place in him. But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word.” Please read this verse again. We cannot just know God “by experience.” Our experience might very well be wrong! We have to know and keep His commands. Anyone that claims that they are a “Christian” who does not follow God’s commands is a phoney according to the scriptures. It’s an error to think that just because your mother or father serve God, you’re covered and everything is OK between you and God. We all need a personal relationship with God in Christ. James 1:21-22 says: Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Are you a doer or a hearer only?
