What Is Your Destiny?
History Repeating
The LORD lead me to this scripture in my time with Him this morning. Interesting how the same events are occurring today. There is a reason why. Do you know? Please share your answer in the comments.
Is CHRISTAIN just a title you poses or a lifestyle? What defines being a Christian? Hint: It's not considering yourself or being considered a "good" person.
What is your IDENTITY in the Kingdom of God? Who do you identify with, this world or God the Father? What is your VALUE to God the Father? Why does God desire to give you PURPOSE?
What responsibility do you have toward your fellow man? What is the Great Commission? What are the two Great Commandments?
Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the first "First Responder". He came to rescue man from the perils of a fallen world, a life captive by Satan's destructive ways.
Christ did not horde His knowledge or practice to Himself. He came to teach us. How? By giving you and me His identity, value, and purpose in the Kingdom of God. To do what He did.
As a former first responder, I shared my knowledge and practice with others by teaching them CPR. Why? To empower them to SAVE a life too.
We as humans have this basic responsibility toward one another....to resuscitate the heart of a fellow person succumbed by death. This is exemplified in the Bible by the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).
Christains must be prepared to render the same aid Jesus did.
Are you trained up? Do you know the responsibility of you call? What is your assignment? Areyou prepared to render aid, have the knowledge and practice to do the job? Do you know the opporations manual? Do you know the protocol? Are you capable of teaching the basics to others so they too can do as Jesus did?
Paul's warning in Jude applies to today.
"It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their own lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of gaining an advantage. But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen."
Jude 1:14-25 NASB
