“For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him, since we are going through the same struggles you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.” Philippians 1: 29-30
As true believers in Christ Jesus we are totally united in Him with our thoughts, our actions and the ways we perform our lives before others. As a result of going all in for Jesus we will experience things in this world that seem unfair and sometimes immoral. We are to plow through the problems we encounter and survive all of the rhetoric around us. We will be persecuted, experience rejection and loneliness that comes as a result of following in his ways. We may be glared at, lied about and even hurt physically for our belief in Him. However, we can rest assured, that by taking the way of Christ in these trials, is honorable and profitable and will lead us to victory in Jesus. As we stand in the midst of lies and damnation from the world around us, we are to stand firm and not waver. We are to pray and listen. We are to follow, with precision the Holy Spirit of God. We are to enter into the victory that Jesus bore for us on that cross. We are to look at the world from a whole new perspective. We are to see things from God’s eyes and not our own. We are to approach life in a whole different and faithful way. We are to be all in for Christ. We are not allowed to set on the fence, sometimes believing in his ways and sometimes not. It is all or nothing with Jesus. He gave his all on that cross for you and me and we are to do the same for Him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
