Your Christian Walk

What are the effects of walking with Jesus?
Peace, Contentment, and Pleasurable Anticipation
If this has not been your experience; perhaps you told Jesus to "walk on ahead" and you would meet him later.
Sometimes Christians are like adolescents walking with their parents, they may profess to love them -- but would rather not be seen with them.
It's time to grow up.

John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - Jesus
God Loves YOU
That's the most important thing.
Everything else flows from here.
God wants to show himself strong in and for you, let him.
Study the Bible and learn to recognize his voice, be still, be quiet; listen.
Once you are sure it is God; act!
Faith is an act!
Spend time with God. Seek, ask, study, talk, and most important; listen.
Listen to the voice of love.
God loves you!
Accept Jesus now.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. - II Timothy 2:15
A relationship with God.
Everything good starts with a personal relationship -- joy, fulfillment, comfort, direction, peace, and much more.
Your walk with Jesus can keep getting better.
Jesus Christ already paid your entry fee to God's presence. All areas in your life where you have done less than the best, (sin), are removed from your record. Jesus, as God come to earth, led a perfect life, (no sin). Tempted, he did not dwell on temptation or give in. When he died on the cross as punishment it was not for his sin, it was for your sins. He gave his life to save yours. Ask him to forgive you of your sins and be your Lord; accept his gift of his life. Do it now.
That's just the start.
Jesus sent you part of the Godhead, The Holy Spirit, to dwell with you and guide you. You have the Bible, as you study God's written word, his voice will be easier to recognize. You have other believers, as you meet with them you will gain understanding of the great work God has started in you. God will show you infinitely more blessings as you stay in his presence.
The amazing reality is you did not earn salvation, it is a gift.
You will grow in Jesus Christ only by his continued giving. In the Bible it says, What is begun in the Spirit is not made perfect in the flesh. That means He will complete the work He has begun in you, if you will let him.
Your effort, worry, and work did not save you, it will not cause you to grow. Your job is to get to know God better, and follow him closer. Your Joy will grow as you draw closer to him.
Remove from your life, with God's help, those habits that might draw you back into the slavery you so recently escaped.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." Reinforce the new by spending time fellowshiping with Christians and reading the Bible.
Where do you go from here?
"Jesus rose from the dead and he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men." You are saved and able to fellowship with God. You need to make and keep him as Lord of your life. You have been transformed from a slave in this worlds system, captive and destined for hell.
You are now adopted into God's family; there to grow. As you mature, you may reach a transition that frequently happens as kids turn into adults. They change from children of their parents to friends of their parents.
As you continue to grow you are seeking to be a friend of God.
As his child you are promised a wonderful inheritance. Your desires goal (hope) should include becoming close friends with the eternal, loving God.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
God cares about every part of your life.
Every Part.

There is one church.
Rejoice in this uplifting song that speaks to this simple truth.
We are his children, all in one family,no matter our disagreements; when we hold to the basics of our relationship with God..

- How do you see religion? I have written an article “Religion Is A Matrix” on http://www.squidoo.com/answers-to-spiritual-questions-01 and would like your opinions on it.

- I feel religion is man trying to make accommodation with a universe the wise know we can never fully understand. Christianity is treated as religion by many, sitting in a pew once or twice a week to appease the unknown, or finding a church claiming to be Christian that requires you work your way to god.
What has almost become a cliche: Religion is man approaching gods, Christianity is God approaching man. Most men are uncomfortable with this as they want to be in charge and decide the terms of engagement. Jesus does not allow that option - no wonder he is hated when honestly portrayed.

- Very nice lens. Hope you do not mind me asking but after reading many of your other lenses I wonder if you walk with Jesus completely on your own or do you attend a church? I ask this because the Christian Church is very difficult for people who are believers of the topics written in your other lenses. I have attended many Christian Churches and Schools (many different denominations and non-denominational) and I am of the opinion that there is not really a place for people who think for themselves.

- I view the church as the body of believers, no two of which are the same. I have attended church, and at times just gathered with friends. The place for thinkers is where church is most vital, in personal relationships. Starting with accepting God's offer of a personal relationship with him, we can then have deeper relationships with others.
Founding buildings, bureaucracies, and authoring rule books are not why Christ came to earth. In fact, disrupting those things seems to have been a constant part of his ministry.
Christianity is a personal relationship with God before it can be anything else. Most of the anything else is man's ideas, not Gods.
Ask him where you belong, today. Tomorrow may well offer change if you keep conversing with him.
Life, she is good.
