How're you doing everyone? Trust you're having a blessed day.
In my last write-up, I wrote on the topic "Obedience is by His Grace", where my focus was on Ephesians 2:8-9. I explained that from the time anyone gets reborn into Christ, all what he or she has is gift from God and not through his or sweat popularly known as hardwork. Now, this doesn’t mean the person just looks or remain idle. What it means is that in Christ, you receive a brand new Spirit or personality, and with this you're led by the Holy Spirit from then on. Therefore, to fall in line with being called the Son or Daughter of God, all you've got to do is to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Now, the Holy Spirit follows the path of the Word of God, which is proof to us that we are being led by Jesus Himself. Thus, our focus is on Him and Him alone.
So, why is being obedient to God very important to us and to God Himself? To answer that, I look go through Ephesians 2:10.
According to The Passion Translation, Ephesians 2:10 says, "We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!"
Anyone born of God is God's workmanship, poetry, masterpiece, a recreated in Christ Jesus. The essence is that he or she fulfills God's plans for him or her, which has been destined by God before they were born.
God who created us knows exactly why we were created and born, and this why obedience to Him is very important.
Romans 8:14 speaks of Sons and Daughters of God being the ones who are led by the Holy Spirit, the very same Spirit of God/Jesus. Psalms 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." The Passion Translation says, "Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of your word makes my pathway clear." Psalms 119:105 TPT. The word of God which the Holy Spirit follows, leads us to the destination of the path set by God. This path by God is a shining light that guides us even to our choices and decisions. And to make things even more interesting, this path allows us to get deeper revelation of the word thereby making the path clearer.
The only way God can guide us is only when we obey Him. And this is because He knows us more than we know ourselves. All that Jesus is, we have been privileged to inherit, it's a brand new life, and an awesome one too.
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!
