Ever wonder if your really a Christian?
Wonder where you'd honestly go if you died tomorrow?
Romans 8:9
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them are not Christians at all.)
A Christian is anyone who has the spirit of God living in him or her. If you have truly trusted the Lord your God, gave yourself to him and allowed him to work through you. Trusted him with your salvation, then the Holy Spirit lives in you and you are a Christian. Jesus promised us to send down his Holy Spirit so you can rest assured the Holy Spirit lives in you.
There are certain steps now that you are a Christan. Certain Laws of God we need to follow.
1) We need to believe that eternal life comes through him.
1 John 5:5
And the ones who win the battle against the world are the ones who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
2) We need to act as Christ directs us to!
Romans 8:5
Those who are determined by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit.
3) You will find help in your daily problems. You will find help in your praying.
Romans 8:26,27
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress. For we don't even know what we should pray for, nor how we should pray. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groaning that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will.
3) You will be empowered to serve God, to do His will!
Act 1:8
But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about me everywhere-- in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
4) Finally you will become part of God's plan to build up his church.
Ephesians 4:12,13
Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.
This may sound like God is asking for a lot. But when it comes down to it, when you feel the Holy Spirit in you, you will be surprised the things you are willing to do for the Lord. You will feel a great, unexplainable feeling that will make you want to be ready to do God's Will.
True believers are on constant standby, waiting with great patience for God to tell them what to do next. You need to have faith. You need to believe in our Lord God Almighty. Things will come easier with God by your side. But don't try it for two weeks and be like "Oh this didn't work! God is not helping me like you said so I give up." It will take time. Time that only God knows! We are not meant to know.
Trust and Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. He doesn't want to see you hurt. For when you hurt he cries. Satan is the one who hurts you!
John 10:10
The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness.
God loves us. We are his children. He wants us to come to him when we figure out "Hey, I can't do this on my own" when we are broken. Give your selves to God and you will find great strength. Come to him broken and lay your sins down at the bottom of the cross. Let him work through you. You will not regret it!
You can live your life however you want. For there is only one life to live. But your earthly life will depend on how your soul will spend all eternity. Is that with God in heaven or is that with Satan our deceiver and spend forever in pain.
It's your life which do you choose?
Wonder where you'd honestly go if you died tomorrow?
