Remain in Christ no matter what
Why did you choose to follow Jesus the Christ? Think about it, make sure your intentions are pure because God knows your heart. Have you considered the cost? Jesus was sacrificed so we can live, but as followers of Christ, we too will need to make sacrifices (deny yourself; die to self and take up your cross daily). Know why you choose to become a christian, and know you will need to bear your own cross will be helpful on your journey. When you become a christian your life is no longer yours, it is all about God’s glory.
God rewards those who diligently seek him (Heb 11:6).
It is imperative we remain in Christ because we will not get to the harvest otherwise. Jesus said “No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” Note that a tree does not bear fruit only once, therefore we should expect the pruning to occur repeatedly as well. Also, Jesus said, if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask anything you want, and it will be granted! That is an amazing promise. So how do we remain in Him when everything around us is falling apart?
1. Keep Gods’ commands
2. Read and study His words daily.
3. Take note and remember His promises
4. Pray without ceasing.
5. Be thankful in everything.
We read about the faithfulness of God. He will do what he says he will do. Keep seeking the Lord and never give up, despite how you may feel.
We will go into each step deeper for the remaining days.
