The best life is a God First life

HIS PURPOSE STANDS

We are incredibly blessed to have the Bible!

When we study God’s Word, we find that those involved often know only what is right in front of them, but as readers we get to see God’s plans come together again and again.

We have 66 books of God-breathed evidence to help us understand that putting our faith, hope, and trust in God is the best commitment we can make and share with our friends and loved ones.

The evidence that God is in control abounds. His purpose does not change, and He works all things according to the counsel of His will. That same Word shows that by trusting and obeying the gospel of the New Covenant—hearing the word of Christ, dying to sin, and being raised to walk in newness of life—we can have eternal life in heaven.

This world is not our forever home.

The Best Thing We Can Pray for Anyone’s Well-Being

Do you pray for the well-being of others?

As I was praying I asked myself this question: What is the best thing we can ask of God for anybody’s well-being? There are many possible answers: One might think of health, happiness, peace, Joy or maybe something more specific that we know they need or want. But, what is the best thing we can ask of God for anybody’s well-being?

That they hear and follow the message of Christ!

Following Christ according to His commandments keeps us on a pathway towards eternal life with Christ, According to God’s word, to be “in Christ, ” we must hear the message of Christ, believe, repent, confess Jesus as the risen Son of God, and be baptized “into” Christ in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit for the forgiveness of our sins.

We need to realize that when we come out of that watery grave, we are doing God’s will and have ratified God’s Grace through Jesus. At this point, we are forgiven! We are free from our past sins, beginning a new life as a new creature, and ready to move forward as disciples of Christ, enjoying all the blessings that come with our obedient faith, like the knowledge that we now have never-ending life available to us in heaven, a spiritual world not made with human hands, where there is no more pain, tears, or death. That if we have put on Christ, we have God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit within us, helping us focus on righteousness and walk this world without being of this world. If we are IN Christ, we can take comfort in knowing the blood of Christ continues to wash us, even when we make mistakes.

So, what is the best thing for anybody’s well-being? – The message of Christ!
