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.

  • God is Love.
    Everything else flows from here.


  • God will act on your behalf
    God wants to show himself strong in and for you, let him.


  • God will talk to you
    Study the Bible and learn to recognize his voice, be still, be quiet; listen.


  • God will direct your actions
    Once you are sure it is God; act!
    Faith is an act!


  • God wants to be your friend
    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..

    in reply to HorseAndPony I have heard it said that we will be as surprised by who is in heaven as by who didn't make it. I am a member of the body of Christ, I go where God leads. There is no perfect local church, if there was my joining would ruin it.

    To get a bit more on finding a church, visit this page I wrote for Junior Partner Ministries. We don't need to always agree, we need to love.

    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.
