Faithful Relationship

Disclaimer I am not saying if your Christian you are a better person, there are killers that hide behind faith and lovers who denounce it. [ My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others?] James 2:1 Just think about what I hold to be true, and if you have conflicting thoughts I would love to learn more about them. Having your faith questioned is one of the quickest way to grow in your faith. [ Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.] James 1:2-3

The title of my last blog was Romans 1:16-17[For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is God's power for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. For in it God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith.] For those who wondered almost enough to look up the verse there it is. Anyways that is a great verse faith is more important than law, believe in Him and walk towards Him in your heart and all else will work itself out. You can only live with faith. If you have a struggle in your life that you can’t overcome, don’t wait, come to the Lord walk towards Him, He will help you and then you will be able to do anything. [I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.] Philippians 4:13. Speaking of waiting “why wait two” isn’t happening so stop waiting (SF). Can, think of that word for a second, can means you have the means to do it, it doesn’t mean once you accept Him you won’t have struggles. However you will be able to work though the struggles with Him on your side. Bottom line, building a Relationship with Him is the most important thing in life. No matter if your life is great or sucks the Lord will make it right.

[Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.] Romans 3:31. If you believe in Him that doesn’t mean you can forget the laws, but to fulfill the law you must have faith. Faith is also needed in the most important issue, having a relation with God. So above all should be a true relationship with Him, once that relationship is strengthen following the values He imbedded in you comes more natural. I can tell you from personal experience building a relationship through faith is so much easier then tiring to build one by following the law. [for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,] Romans 3:23 [For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.] John 3:16.

If you could get anything you every wanted or needed, like car money food shelter ect..., just by acknowledging someone's existence wouldn't you? Well that's the option I am telling you about, believe in Him and you will never go thirsty. From a relationship with Him through faith then the laws will be easier to follow. I have found what stops some people from forming a relationship with Him, is laziness and apathy. "If your Christian then you have to follow all those rules." That's not true once you truly believe in Him you get to see things more as He does, sinning burns you internally. Stop the laziness and kill the apathy, care!!! Go out and do something positive with your life.
