Life of Faithfulness – Part 3

We know that we can’t live a perfect life free of sin. Only Jesus was perfect. But, we can try to shadow the life of Jesus in our walk. We must read and study the Gospels to know how to shadow the Lord!

Living faithful on earth does require mercy from our God. Mercy is defined as “not giving a person what he or she deserves.”

Our God is so merciful…our disobedience to God does deserve judgement. But God does show “mercy” to us by providing an escape from sins penalty through Jesus Christ – who alone saves us from sin!!

Think about this… when we pray to God for forgiveness we are asking for something we do not deserve – His mercy. Only because of Jesus and our trust in Jesus and His saving work on the cross, on our behalf, we get to experience God’s forgiveness.

Living a life of faithfulness does require obedience but HAS to require Jesus! If you know someone that believes in God but not in Jesus, they are not living a life of faithfulness. It is impossible!

What God did for us through his Son shows His great mercy. He gave up His Son for us and we did not deserve it!

We are to tell people this Good News!! Be a disciple for Christ. Let people know that without Jesus you can not get to the Father and can not be forgiven.

Live a life of faithfulness by shadowing Jesus and being a spreader of the Good News! As my mentor and friend Terri Broome said, “be a super spreader!!”

To start living a life of faithfulness: hang around other believers, be selfless and worship our One true God, shadow Jesus’ ways from the Gospels and know God has mercy on us, we can receive forgiveness for our sins only through His Son! We can get to God only through Jesus! God gave us His son even though we don’t deserve it!

Then…be a super spreader and tell everyone about Jesus everywhere you go!!!!!

We love you all!
