The New Cool Life

Hi, everyone,

We have heard of religion, and of course, most of the world is under one religion or the other. Through proper understanding of the Word of God, we have come to understand that Christianity is not a religion. But what this has established is just the truth which many are not practicing. Why am I saying this?

Many who are Christians look at Christianity as something which has rules and guidelines to follow unknowingly. So, they are careful not to break any of the rules. This is to say they have accepted to live within the terms and conditions of what the new covenant brings. It is not what they would do naturally, but what they must do to show to the world that they are Christians.

Now, some may say it is natural for them to study the Word of God. But their actions are very much similar to other religions who study their holy books. What makes them different from the other is the deity each one follow. So, what is the action those who are Christians meant to portray? Or, how is Christianity not a religion?

Well, Christianity is not a religion, but with the way it is portrayed today, ‘Christianity’ is a religion because those who act within rules and regulation has to have a name tag, given to them, and it has been given to them—Christianity! So, those who are to live as one born of God shouldn’t be tagged with the name Christians as the world portrays it today, and here’s why.

What Jesus established wasn’t a religion. What Jesus brought was life! Allow me to explain. You wake up in the morning, you wash your mouth, eat, you see something funny, you laugh, you see something sad, you cry, you dance when you want to dance. These are things you just do like you just do them without a guideline of how to laugh or cry, or how to wake up or something like that. This is living or this is just life to you.

The truth is that all I just described is attached to a spirit, it comes from within, and it is who you are. Now, the ‘just living’ type of life before Jesus came was a corrupt way of living. As a result of this, Man found ways of pleasing God by creating rules, in other words, creating types of religion. This is different from just living. Now, God saw that life was corrupt and brought a brand new life which is not corrupt, this was the life Jesus brought through His resurrection.

Just the way you admire a person living a cool life, this was how Jesus was the first to have a brand new cool life, never seen before on earth. This life is the life we were meant to live, the life that God created us to be. So, when we receive Jesus into our life, the source of our life is replaced by a brand new life, which is the new cool life Jesus lives. So, our waking up and doing things is from within a brand new life, which is the Jesus life. This is why the Law became obsolete because the new life doesn’t need the Law, what we have is a brand new life, the exact life Jesus has, (ref. Hebrews 8:13). And the more we know about ourselves, the more we live the new life naturally, (ref. Romans 12:1-2).

It is not in going to church or attending Bible studies that make us accepted by God. All those are for us to know who we are. Just like someone who lost his memory and reads a book about who he is. He naturally starts acting himself as he gets into shape because the new us comes from within a new cool spirit. There are rules in living this cool life, just live the new cool life that’s all, (ref. Romans 6).

This is why being in Christ is so cool

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
