Live and Die for Christ

Live and Die for Christ.

To live for Christ and to die for Christ is a must for the believers. The committed and fully dedicated life will only see the fruits of their mission. Every Christian should take a note that without the practical life there is no fruits bearing mission. As the phrase says, ‘Action speaks louder than the speech’. This very important short little phrase should be always kept in mind. Everybody loves to see the work not the saying, the sacrificial life than the mere teaching. Every religions have got there own idol model where they focus their moral teachings, but majority of the followers did not follow. The only problem we have in dealing with the peace is - no one follows what they think is the best. The world will go in this manner. The followers of Christ must stand firm in their faith to face any threat that comes along their path. One should always keep in mind that the world which we live in is a sinful world. There will be temptations; trying to lure and trap us in every possible fields. But we should always remember that this worldly luxuries and benefits will not lead us to eternal life but rather lead us to death.

The believers may be poor in material but rich in spirit. They envy nobody and nobody envies them. The inner joy is so great that they don’t have time for material gain. As Jesus owns nothing in this world, so also this worldly material should not disrupt our mission for Christ. This does not mean that we should hate this worldly material, but rather we must use them for the extension of God’s Kingdom. Helping the poor with our wealth; giving them food to eat, clothes to wear, house to stay, donating for the cause of the poor are all part of Christian Mission. If we do that then we can store our treasures in heaven rather than on this earth. These all things should be done for the sake of Lord Jesus Christ only. If we happen to do for our selfish gain then it would mean nothing. In the end we might be compel to say we did this and that, but Jesus Christ will say – go away I do not know you. How shameful and disgraceful will it be? Thus everyone will be responsible for what he or she does?

Lord Jesus Christ laid the foundation for the fallen race, and now we are entitled to be call Children of God. The path of righteousness is the only way to be followed by the Children of God. This is always a difficult task with human strength, but with the help of God we can overcome it. We are running a race for future glory, and we are on the race track. When we run the race by our own strength we will get exhausted, but with Christ we will keep running till we reach the final destiny. The believers’ strength and stamina is Christ who promised to help His people in times of trouble, sorrow and exhaustion.

This world is a sinful world; temptation runs thick and fast. The desire for wealth and luxuries lives is the sole aim of the worldly people. This is not the case to the believers. Their faith in God leads them to the path of sacrificial life, forsaking the worldly pleasure.
