Send to friendIn Christ, we have been made holy, righteous, free, and acceptable. We need to be prepared for the backlash and antagonism of a world that cannot abide those who have broken free of the bondage in and of this world. There are many deceivers who would seek to deceive you with their carefully constructed illusions and deceptions. Here are some links to articles that deal directly with this.
there is no advice in this world – even if it comes from a Bible verse or a preacher’s sermon – that can produce God’s work within you. Oh, it might make you appear more spiritually productive, but the working of God doesn’t come from the practical side of the grave … but from the living side that has risen past it. When I tell you that Christ is your life, I’m telling you about the one and only present-tense reality that causes you to live as one who is truly alive in this world. source
