The Christian life is a life of transformation and change. Is this true in your life or are you stuck in a rut trying to get out? The Christian life is not static. It is a life of change in which each stage of our walk with God involves constant moving change, precept upon precept, line upon line. Active response to God’s will involves constant change. His will is progressive by nature, meaning we must constantly adapt to the changes in our lives where the will of God is leading us.
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are begin transformed into the same image from glory to gory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Active response to God's will involves constant change. His will is progressive by nature meaning we must constantly adapt to changes in our lives where the will of God is leading us.
Many Christians fail to respond to change as God directs because of two primary reasons: 1) They lack the motivation to change, 2) they desire to, but they are not quite sure how to appropriate the changes
Motivational Keys that are Needed to Help Initiate Change.
1. Our Desire to Change Is Something That Pleases the Lord.
The greatest thing Jesus can say to you when you enter into eternity is "Well done, good and faithful servant."
2. Change Brings Forth a Greater Measure of Our Spiritual Inheritance.
Since change is an act of obedience, we reap blessing upon blessing when we respond to God in obedience.
Listed below are just a few of the by products of our inheritance that we receive through our obedience to submit to the changing process in our lives.
Joy vs. Grief - Peace vs. Trouble - Hope vs. Fear - Happiness vs. Misery - Love vs. Hatred - Plenty vs. Poverty - Health vs. Sickness - Forgiveness vs. Resentment.
This is a major portion of the Promised Land that God has given to us as New Testament Christians. These promises should motivate us to bring forth the kind of fruit God desires in our lives. Let us be like Abraham who did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief. |
