“because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified and the world’s interest in me has also died.” Galatians 6:14
“Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.” Psalm 37:5
“The Lord says. ‘ I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.’ ” Psalm 91:14
When we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior our life changes forever. We accept that Jesus went to the cross, and not only died for our sins, and for our salvation and healings, but he went there and crucified the meaning of living in this world. We no longer belong to this world even though we continue to live here. Our interest in the ways the world teaches us to live begin to fade as we now are the solid property of our Lord. Our interest in this world and the world’s interest in us has changed. We no longer have the desire to live our lives in fear of what others think. We no longer have a desire to live our lives with anger and distain for those around us. When we accept Jesus, we begin to focus on his desires for us. We commit ourselves to his presence in our lives and to the things of the spiritual realm. We start to believe in things unseen instead of believing only in things seen. We are viewed by the world as strange and in some cases unstable. Those around us begin to take note of these changes and will either break away from us or join us in our new lives. As we continue our journey in Christ, our love for him will grow and our faith will become stronger and stronger. We will begin to stand upon his promises and will put them into practice within our own existence. We will begin to stand out and our light will begin to shine brighter and brighter each day. Our Lord has promised to rescue us and to protect us when we show our true love for him. As our faith begins to grow the fears in this life begin to fade. We change because the Lord changed us within this world. We must not fear but instead we must obtain confidence, peace of mind, and understand our lives with Jesus. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
