Episode 6: Knowing God In Our Actions


Listen Later

This world has given us the illusion that following ourselves will make us the most happy and give us the most pleasure. But as some begin to learn, many are left disappointed having put such treasure and trust in temporary created things of this world. We have been created for a purpose and
given choices to make. We can choose to live life according to ourselves and neglect the free gift of eternal life and its blessing that Jesus Christ came to give us, or we can accept it, follow the Word of God and receive the amazing peace and love of God that will always satisfy those who wish to be at peace in this life and the next. Some are falsely deceived into thinking they're lives are perfect, all people should desire the eternal because life continues after our time on earth. The issue here is following ourselves we cannot lead ourselves anywhere on our own after death. Unity and a relationship with God is eternal. Let us establish an eternal relationship as soon as we can and begin a relationship where the power, blessing and care that God has for us will take care of us now and until the end of time.
Our actions are the manifestation of what is on the inside of us, which means that our actions reveal what is true about us: what we believe, who we serve, and who we love.
If we say that we believe in something, our actions can contradict us to reveal what we truly believe. If we say that we love someone more than ourselves, our actions will reveal if it is true. What we do shows who we really serve, who we love the most, and what we really think.
If we ever need proof of what is true about ourselves, we can look to our actions to always tell the truth because our actions are absolutely dependent on what is true inside of us.
The Kingdom of this world has its own priorities, its own interests, its own values, and its own philosophy. It all seems so real, so enduring, but the reality is it will not last. It is temporary. It is doomed, and will one day be totally destroyed and the kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of our God. Meanwhile, the challenge before us is to continue to live in the world, but not be of the world in doing so, we share God’s values, His priorities, and His interests and ultimately we will enjoy living and ruling with Him for all eternity. The choice is yours.
The three biggest problems we face on earth are sin, suffering, and death. Nobody on earth can avoid it, prevent it or solve it. But luckily we have a God in Jesus Christ that came on earth, that overcame sin, death and suffering in order for us not only to receive eternal life through Him, but that we may have a peace that surpasses all understanding to those on earth.
