The Old Adam Lives!

Faithfulness to Jesus is a  pretty good benchmark to see if we are really His…is it not?

Are we not exhorted, if not outright commanded to do these things?

This test is but a tiny sampling of all the things that we should be doing because Jesus has told us to do them.  There is also a test of all the things that we should not be doing.  (I’ll post that in the near future)

Keep in mind that these things are bare minimums and should not in any way constitute the whole of the law (God’s demands).                                                 

But these few actions are a pretty good guide to get you on track towards a true faithfulness .

I am sure that the Old Adam/Eve in us all will have quite a bit to say about the legitimacy of this test.

What!? Easter was last Sunday.  Yes it was.  And it’s this Sunday also…and the next, and the next, and the next Sunday, too.

Not only is it every Sunday…it is every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday , Thursday, Friday, and Saturday also. The Lord raises us to new life in Himself every single day in our Christian life. We have a share in the eternal Easter of our Lord…each and every moment.

Personally, I need to be reminded of that fact, constantly. For when I’m in the battle, getting the stuffing kicked out of me, it’s quite often easy to forget just who I really am, an adopted son of the living God.

So thanks for the opprotunity to tell you this good news once again. I did want to remind you, but I needed to hear it again myself, also.

 Happy Easter my Brothers and Sisters, sons and daughters of the living God!
