Spiritual Life.

'He whose self life has been sacrificed to death is cut loose from the things of the world. Gaining spiritual life is conditional on suffering loss.' - The Spiritual Man- Watchman Nee

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?

Do you want to gain a spiritual life?

How important is it to you to have a spiritual life?

Seriously, do we even care about our spiritual lives? How often do you think of your spiritual life?

These are questions that need answering.

What would YOU give in exchange for your eternal life?

What good does having ANYTHING if we do not have eternal life?

Can we detach ourselves from the things of this world? Can we suffer the loss of things, anything that would keep us from a true spiritual life?  At what point are people going to call us crazy? We need to LIVE in this world, with our loved ones - Jesus would NOT want us to divorce our spouses, ignore our grown children, turn our back on our co-workers- because we come into truth we do not follow warped ideas of truth. The heart of our Savior is loving each other, and that love is connected to Him, through His cross. That love is selfless not self-serving. Yes, we are to GIVE up all- but we do this THROUGH Christ, not through self-serving! God does not call us lightly to give up on any one. IF we are growing further from Christ through another, then maybe we are called to leave.  Christ will teach us, we need to learn. How much giving up of ourselves can we do in order to live in Him, truly live in Him.  Can we give up all of our selves, replacing it with Him? How much do we DAILY TAKE UP OUR CROSS and how much do we let Christ work in us? Do we separate the two? These are many questions we need to consider.

More tomorrow by the grace of our God, our Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ!
