Beautiful People
The credibility and practice of discipleship are found in relational connectedness. As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I learn, with humility, every aspect of His character through His teaching, ministry, and service. Christ's credibility as the Good Shepard quiets my fears of any valleys of death or despair that I may traverse. The intimacy that a disciple finds in rooting their heart with Christ is only evident by the fruit that they bear. That fruit (action) provides credibility to a secular world of Christ's radical involvement and maturation within their hearts. Association with Christ is not enough, though. We must saturate our minds, hearts, and souls with His unconditional divine sacrificial love.
How do we go about this saturation? What process do we enact? As a disciple dearly loved by Christ, we must preach the Gospel to ourselves daily! The lies of the Devil are real, and he intends to steal, kill, and destroy our relational connectedness with Jesus through deception. A renewal occurs when we preach the Gospel to our minds, hearts, and souls. Our attention is taken off self and unto the Savior. When we preach the Gospel to ourselves, our cognitive patterns are aligned with Heaven, and we can discern the perfect will of God. When we preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to ourselves, we experience a oneness with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. When we preach the Gospel to ourselves and believe its message, we leave our world of darkness and enter into His marvelous light. When we preach this beautiful Gospel of Jesus Christ to ourselves, even our enemies become like family. My friend, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, has the power to change you! Preach the Gospel to yourself daily and share it unashamedly!
