Man of God

"But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses." 1 Timothy 6:11-12

If you call yourself a Christian then you should flee from your evil desires and pursue these things it says in 1 Timothy. Is it going to be hard? yes, is it worth it? absolutely. Living for Christ is hard because a spiritual war is going on in this world, whether you believe it or not. So we have to put on the Whole Armor of God daily (Ephesians 6), so that we can stand against the flesh and the devil's fiery arrows. The only way to serve Christ is by being a servant and let him lead us. Instead of us having a say in what we want or want to do. We can't serve two masters, we can't say we serve Christ if we still are serving ourselves. We have to let go of the flesh and take hold of that eternal life which was given to us when we surrendered our life over to Christ. There is nothing greater than to be able to serve the God of the Universe, the one who gave us life. Praise be to the One who loved me and you so much that He took His wrath and put it on His only son instead of worthless old me and you.

To God be the Glory!
