Add to not Take away!

This is the first month in a New Year and I am sure we all made some declaration for this New Year which wholes new beginnings if we will allow them to be. Instead of giving up I always add something to my walk with the Lord and when I do that it seems to take care of what I should give up or change.

When we are born again or born from above we are instantly new creations in Christ. We just celebrated His virgin birth and why and how He came from heaven to earth to show us the way. So now our God is in the process of removing anything that is not of Him. The Apostle Paul says, … you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. Colossians 3:9-10 This is a wonderful understand for all of us who are followers of Christ.

I love the words, being renewed, which means it is a continual process of being set at one again. Before we accepted Jesus and totally gave our hearts and lives to Him we were opposing Him and we found nothing foundational or permanent for our life. But after our acceptance we are beinging renewed which sets us at one again with a purposes and hope for eternal living with Jesus Christ the Savior of the world! He was born, walked this earth, and died for every human being in this world but all the human beings in the world must choose Him.

Start this year by adding something to our life and that might be walking with Jesus for the first time or being more consumed with our walk with Jesus adding more time for Him. This will add more hope, love, joy, peace, faith, strength, encouragement, sel control, and the list goes on and on.

This is not a natural concept but a spiritual one and is only understood from our manual for success, the Bible! To be hidden in Christ, you must be born again or if you prefer, born from above!

We are pilgrims just passing through here to our eternal home, but during this journey we have a purpose and plan from our God to complete. Set before us are many paths with many gates. We choose which ones we open. We are not robots. We have a free will.

We need to be very aware we are living in the last of the last days. All around us we see so much evil. Our manual for success (Bible) is very clear about these days in which we are living. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come. 2 Timothy 3:1 Perilous times means dangerous and morally corrupt.
