HOLDING UNTO FAITH:

In a world filled with distractions and challenges, it can be easy to lose sight of our faith. However, as Christians, it is important to hold unto our faith and remain steadfast in our beliefs. This serves as a guide to help you keep the Christian faith and navigate through the ups and downs of life.

Understanding the Importance of Faith

Faith is the foundation of the Christian life. It is what sustains us in times of trouble and gives us hope for the future. Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). By understanding the importance of faith, we can strengthen our relationship with God and remain steadfast in our beliefs.

Building a Strong Foundation

In order to keep the Christian faith, it is essential to build a strong foundation. This foundation is built on prayer, reading the Bible, attending church, and surrounding ourselves with other believers. By establishing these practices in our lives, we can deepen our faith and remain rooted in Christ.

Overcoming Doubt and Temptation

Doubt and temptation are common struggles that can cause us to waver in our faith. However, by turning to God in prayer, seeking guidance from the Bible, and relying on the support of fellow believers, we can overcome these challenges and remain steadfast in our faith.

Trusting in God’s Plan

As Christians, we must trust in God’s plan for our lives, even when things don’t go as we had hoped. By surrendering our will to God’s will and trusting in His timing, we can find peace and strength in the midst of uncertainty. Remember, God works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

Persevering in Faith

Keeping the Christian faith requires perseverance. There will be times when we face trials and tribulations, but by remaining steadfast in our beliefs and trusting in God’s faithfulness, we can endure and overcome. Remember, the race is not to the swift, but to those who endure to the end (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

Conclusion

Holding unto faith is a lifelong journey that requires dedication, perseverance, and trust in God. By building a strong foundation, overcoming doubt and temptation, trusting in God’s plan, and persevering in faith, we can keep the Christian faith and experience the peace and joy that comes from a relationship with Christ. May you be encouraged and strengthened as you continue to walk in faith.

LIVING THE LIFE

PASTOR EMMANUEL DANIEL

LIVING THE LIFE.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. John 1:4

Christianity is a way of life not a religion, Christ gave us life not religion, but we gave ourselves religion and we are holding unto it rather than holding unto the life Christ gave us.

This is a  life that is expected of us all to live by and that life set us apart from others and gives us an edge to make the difference in this world. Interestingly, there are lots of Christian today, but few living the life, the others focus more on the religion, religion destroys and brings about division and disunity as it is today in the Christian faith. Jesus Christ said He didn’t come to destroy the law.

Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them. Matt. 5:17

Meaning that He did not come to give us a religion, but to fulfill the life that God the father gave us from the beginning, God didn’t give Adam and Eve a religion either, what He gave them was life, a pattern of life that befits His kingdom for us to make it through, although they both lost it to the devil in the garden.

The life of God was given to Jesus Christ who has given it to us as part of the redemption plan and this is the life of power and authority.

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. John 5:26 – 27

This life make us stand worthy before God and gives us access to God the father.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6.

This is the life that leads the way for others to follow, an exemplary life. The life that converts, encourage, and inspire others.

Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” John 8:12.

Rather than living this life we are focusing on religion and fighting ourselves, Jesus didn’t give us religion He gave us life and that is the life of God Gal. 5:22 – 23

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness Gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law”
