The life of a Christian…
Some would say that this is a life of restriction, rules, and lack of fun. I would disagree. It is true that the Bible teaches a standard to live by. Yes, there are commandments to follow, and that means avoiding what much of the world would consider “fun” in some cases. However, what is missed by this viewpoint is the intent behind those commands. Take for example the law against drunkenness. There may be some temporary pleasure in this, but there are many possible negative consequences: damaged families, health concerns, risk of injury, etc. God’s way is better because it shields us from those negative consequences. God always has our best interests in mind. He demonstrates this ultimately by sending His son, Jesus Christ, to live as a human, experience all the temptations that we do without sin, and then sacrifice Himself for our sins. He did not deserve death; we do.
Romans 5:6-9 NASB1995
[6] For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. [8] But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
The Christian life is the best kind of life. If anyone ever wants to talk more about this, I am always happy to discuss.

COT: Discussion on Matthew 25:35-36
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

Today was the first day I looked at that verse not just literally in providing support to those in need, but now looking at it figuratively, in those who struggle with knowledge and love of the Lord. Those who are thirsty and longing to be fed the Good News. Also those who are in prison to sin and being there to provide support and calling ourselves out of sin.

Romans 8:1-2
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

If you have accepted the gift of faith in Jesus.
If you have chosen to follow Him.
You are no longer condemned.
The world can tell you suck.
The devil can remind you of everything you’ve ever done.
But you are forgiven.

John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Jesus has placed the Holy Spirit in you.
You are no longer under the law, but under grace.
You are no longer a slave to sin.
Your setbacks and your stumbles are part of your sanctification, for God will take that evil and use it for good.

You are free to do good.
You are empowered by the Spirit to do what you could not do in your old flesh.

Rejoice, my brothers. You are free.
You are not fatherless. You will never be abandoned. You will never be condemned.
Jesus took every punishment you deserve so that you are free to be the man He made you to be.

So go live it.
