MARCH 25, Galatians 5:22; Luke 16:10
Faith is given to us by the Holy Spirit living inside us. How is your faith? Do you really believe that God will save you from an eternal Hell? Do you have a desire to be faithful to Him? The world demands our loyalty. There are many things that attract us and prevent us from keeping a good relationship with God. But we are called to remain faithful to God!
The Christian faith is the experience of living in a new personal relationship with God through the transforming and indwelling power of the Holy Spirit in us. The key to this new experience of living is trusting God. Have faith in Him that He can transform you, and allow Him to make you a kinder, gentler, more faithful child.
One area where we may know if we have this faith is whether we love Christian fellowship. A true Christian will want to have fellowship or friendship with other Christians. All Christians should be involved in some church fellowship. Are you? Or are you always with your non Christian friends? Or perhaps you do not like being with other Christians? If so, why is that the case?
The Bible instructs us that we should be faithful brothers and sisters to one another in God’s family because of our common relationship to our Lord Jesus Christ. We should be eager to think of the kind and good things of others. We help each other in our spiritual
walk within the church body. We also stand by
each other. Learn to demonstrate your faith in
God by getting to know more Christians. That
way, you may be able to help them, and they in
turn may be able to encourage you. Play more
with other Christian children and in turn, all of
you would be able to strengthen your friendship
with one another and ultimately, encourage each
other to be closer to God.
Thought: Do you have enough Christian fellowship?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, make me good and faithful. There are so many distractions that draw me away from being a good and faithful Christian. Heavenly Father, help me have more good Christian friends so that together we may grow and learn more of Your Word and Your goodness. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
