HOW CLOSE IS YOUR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST?

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our LORD.

Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 25:1-22; John 11:1-57; 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

Today I would like you to do a spiritual exercise which will enable you to evaluate your life against the life of the LORD Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is supposed to be the standard of every believer’s life. However, for you to know the result of your life, first learn to recognize the result of Jesus Christ’s life. Jesus Christ’s life is the only pattern against which you can know the result of your life. The result of His life during the time He lived on earth, is salvation for the whole world. By His suffering, rejection, name calling, persecution, Crucifixion, His death and Resurrection, Jesus Christ qualified you to eternal life. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” Jesus Christ, by His life, delivered you and redeemed you from being a bond servant of sin and the devil. He completely gave you a new nature with no past at all according to 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old has passed away, behold all things are become new.” In order for you to have the real result of life which has meaning in the presence of God, you must believe in the finished work of God in Jesus Christ just as John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Once you believe in Jesus Christ as LORD, Savior, Redeemer and Deliverer, your life will have that result that is acceptable before God. Remember, there are only two results and these are eternal death or eternal life. Without the life of Jesus Christ in you, the result of your life is certainly eternal death. Make the Word of God rule your heart and then Jesus Christ rules your life. Once Jesus Christ takes over your life, the result of your life is eternal life just as Romans 6:23 above says. When Jesus Christ is at the center of your life, and you are always at the right place at the right time, you can enjoy God’s grace and favor because all things will always work together for your good just at the Bible teaches in Romans 8:28. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You Father for assuring me that the only way I can have a result that is acceptable before You is by accepting and believing in Jesus Christ as my LORD and Savior, Deliverer and Redeemer. I ask that You take complete control of my life so that I may be acceptable before You. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.
