Build your house upon the Rock.
By doing His sayings we are building a firm foundation for our lives. Many people have trouble getting the black ink off the pages of the Bible and into their hearts and lives, because they try to live for God by “will power”. Impossible!
Real “living for God” is dying to self. It is self-surrender. It is abandonment of self-survival. Living for God is really and truly seeing yourself dead, without the slightest struggle against the Spirit of God that gives you life. Yielded to the Seed of God planted inside of you to give you “new” life is what being a Christian really is. Some think going to Church is being a Christian. Others think a happy confession of “Jesus is Lord” is being a Christian. Not so!
What is being a “real” Christian? It is summed up in this. I died, and He lives in me. I live by the Life of God within. It is no longer my will but His. He leads me by the still small voice within and Jesus is the real King of my domain within, called my heart.
Unless we can get the Word of God within, (born again of His Seed) then the Bible and all the promises of God are a myth to us, and we have build our house upon sand. Be blessed.
