Suffering for the cause of our Lord Jesus Christ is not a very popular idea to live;
however, in the area of standing true to His Word, it is inevitable if one takes the serious
commitment as is necessary to adhere to the conduct of living the life in accordance
to putting Him first above and beyond anything else that tries to take a greater priority.
It often separates very families due to what one believes in regard to who accepts and
rejects the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ; and, the level of devotion to His purposes
often causes some to either draw closer or farther away from those whose time is
spent in the depth of the work He places upon ones life in the sincerity to stay the
course in that commitment. In “Jesus First In Your Life”, I made plain the fact of how
God can take a life and turn it around from a hopeless situation to abundant living
even in the midst of seemingly an aloneness that sometimes accompanies a lifestyle
to continue to hold fast to the value of what God can do in one’s life to stay strong
in His care. Even though there is a certain attraction in this life to gain much to live
as comfortably as possible, no amount of attaining wealth or living off of one’s
accomplishments could truly make one happy for this life is so fleeting. The life
lived now will quickly pass, but what truly stands is eternity. If the truth of the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is correctly told, there is also the responsibility to
inform others that their soul condition before God is important in order to have
the right standing before Him that they may attain that eternal life and in the grace
of God He bestowed not only to accept what Jesus did for them; but, also to live
the lifestyle that is pleasing in His sight that they may be able to pass along the
wonderful news of how Jesus changed their lives in testimony of His goodness
in the blessing of healing and deliverance. With all this in mind, we who believe
can say together that we have a more lasting inheritance someday, but while on
this earth we have our hope and can call out to God in our times of need, knowing
that the cross we bear is one of victory ahead to the greater joy in glory! LaNora G. Means
