Welcome to my blog. May the peace and love of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
The innocent state of a child is an important condition that the Lord Jesus recommends to each believer to enter the kingdom of heaven. Similarly, the fluency of God's love for those born in Christ is a similar tenderness treatment when a newborn baby arrives in the world. Therefore, live like a child!
In 1 Peter 1:14 the Lord says:
We must go to God as little children or we will never walk in obedience. We must depend on Him and ask for help continuously. He must help us in all that God has called us to do. He is ready, waiting and with more than will.
But we must go to Him with the humility of a child, with sincerity, honesty, unpretentious and open, knowing that, without Him or his continued help, we can walk in new levels of obedience.
In 1 John 4: 4, the apostle wrote:
The apostle speaks of defeating and defeating the enemy. Again, I consider that we need to see that this is only achieved when we go to God as children, depending on Him, counting on Him, trusting Him, etc.
In Galatians 4:19, the apostle Paul called believers in Galatia:
Just as loving parents are willing to suffer for their children if necessary, so Paul suffered persecution to preach the Gospel to those he called his children. It was they who were born in the Kingdom of God through Paul's preaching. And Paul wanted to see them grow and enjoy what we obtained through the death of Jesus.
Referring to them as children, Paul let them know that he was ready to be by his side and do whatever was necessary, even suffer if necessary to see the achievement of God's purpose in their lives.
A good father would prefer to suffer in his own flesh than to see his children suffer. We see this "paternal filial principle" in action when the Father sent Jesus to die for us, his children.
According to the Bible, being innocent as children is our right, given by God and bought with the price of blood:
Children are heirs; They are the ones who inherit. Slaves are workers; They do not share the inheritance of the children.
Are you a worker or heir?
In Romans 8:21, the apostle lets us know that God's children have a glorious freedom and that one day ... "the creation itself will be freed from the slavery of corruption, to the glorious freedom of God's children. ".
As children of God, we were never created to live with ties of any kind. We must experience glorious freedom, freedom to enjoy all that God gave us through Christ. God has given us life, and our goal should be to enjoy it.
I do not speak of selfishness or petty enjoyment, for oneself and for anyone else. I speak of a joy in God, one who learns the way Jesus dealt with life and its circumstances, and thus allowed the enjoyment of everything!
Find a way to convert and remain with the innocence of a child, with all the simplicity of these. It will change the quality of life in a surprising way.
A simple approach can change everything. Try it, you will receive blessing!
