Daily Word Focus: CHANGE





Change is one of the most difficult things to do, for most people (maybe not you, but others). To change is to adjust or correct our behavior and thinking. Since you became a Christian are you aware of any changes in your life? The letters (epistles) in the Bible were written to help the Jewish Christians change their ways. Yes, God’s chosen people had to change and so do you.

Acts 6:13-14 And they set up false witnesses, who said: “This man does not cease to speak words against the holy place and the law. For we have heard him saying that this Jesus the Nazarene will destroy this place and will change the traditions, which Moses handed down to us.” (CPDV)

NOTE: The problem was going from the Law of Moses to grace introduced by Christ. They no longer had to follow the teachings of the Law.

You may or may not agree that we like to stay in our comfort zone of habits. These habits include traditions and daily routines. Think about it, before Christ came into your life did you spend time reading your Bible? Did you make time to pray or go out of your way to help others? Did you fellowship with other Christians? You should be a new person with new friends and habits. Was it easy for you to change?

Heaven and eternal life; worth the change
If you struggle with making good changes, remember there is one final change that you do not want to miss. Changing from a physical (designed for earth) to the glorious (designed for heaven) body.
Philippians 3:20-21 But we are [really] citizens of heaven and we are waiting for a Savior [to return] from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will change our lowly [physical] bodies and make them like His glorious body. [He will do this] according to the power that enables Him even to bring everything into submission to Himself. (AUV)

Living a Christian life is worth every struggle and hardship. Know that you are part of a Spiritual family that has an inheritance of eternal life; love it! Blessings to you my friends –  

‘Do your best to please God in all you do!
