It is good for us to be challenged and reminded from time to time,
that being redeemed is the beginning of our journey with God, not the
end.
Think of being re-deemed as like being ‘deemed’ again. We were
enemies of God now we are children of God in the process of
sanctification. Jesus said that IF we continue in His Word we will be
His disciples. There is a process of discipline in the renewing of our
minds that requires our effort and attention. If we truly want to be
disciples we will need to marinate ourselves, absolutely soak in His
Word.
Possibly the greatest problem in the body of Christ today is that
people want everything done for them. Instant anointings, gifts and so
on. The reality is that we have an ‘anointing’ that is peculiar to us
alone, the seed of the spirit of Christ within in us. It can be fed on
the Word and healthy activities or contaminated and polluted by the
World around us.
The bible challenges us to be ‘excellent at what is good, and
innocent of evil.’ This is the essence of holiness. Consecration and
purity. But without the Word of God to instruct us we don’t actually
know what we should be doing, or what we should be avoiding. Listen to the Message...
