Spiritual living.
We all seem to have a handle on the physical side of life. We know what it takes to keep ourselves alive. Our spiritual side of life isn't something we concern ourselves with because it isn't essential to our physical life. Our emotional state of life is important because if we get too unstable mentally or emotionally we can endanger our physical life. Yet, you don't hear many people touting how life important our spiritual side is. Our spiritual side has been successfully buried by Satan.
We wouldn't dare tell someone that their life depends on their spiritual well being because they'd think we were crazy, especially if we believe what we are saying. They might chuckle and roll their eyes a bit and then say ah you're talking about the after life. But we aren't just talking about the 'after life'. We are talking about our LIFE right here and now. What people don't seem to want to concern themselves with too much is the fact our LIFE right here and now determines our 'after life'.
Too many people want to wait for the 'right time' to become spiritual. Too many make decisions concerning their spiritual life that have nothing to do with their every day life.
The truth is our spiritual life is more important than any other aspect of our life.
Our spiritual life is more important then our physical life.
When our physical life is over, the sum of what our spiritual life has been is what matters. Just being alive does not guarantee us salvation, it does not guarantee us eternity in Christ.
Our spiritual life and our spiritual way of living is more important than ANYTHING. If we are called to choose between our spiritual life and our physical life we must choose our spiritual life without fail, but will we do that if we barely even care that we have a spiritual life?
Php_3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ
ALL thing are counted but loss, NOTHING means more than our knowledge of Christ Jesus our LORD.
Mat_16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Luk_9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
Joh_12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
These words are so incredibly important and yet people just don't seem to care much about their spirituality.
We focus on our worldly life, our flesh life, NOT our spiritual life.
When we wake up we don't have our minds focused on the spiritual part of us waking up, do we?
Most of us haven't even been taught about our spiritual self, so how could we think about our spiritual life as something that needs tending to just as our physical body needs tending. We could no more live physically without doing anything to keep ourselves alive than we can live spiritually without doing things to keep our spiritual life alive.
Our spiritual life is extremely important and now that we've established that, or at least I hope we have, we will continue on… tomorrow by the GRACE of our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!
IN HIS LOVE!
May we learn of our spiritual life as a real part of us and learn how to tend to this part of our life so that we may live fully IN CHRIST.
