Where is the passion for Jesus? Where is the seriousness? Jesus took things seriously, so seriously that He took it to the cross. He became the substitute in our place. (John 3:16) How many people do you know who love you that much? I think we don't take things serious enough at times. So I asked myself, "What is God's will exactly?" Well, if you look in God's Word, it clearly tells us what God's will is. In 1 Tim 2:3-4 it says "This is good, and it pleases God our Savior who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." Who/what is the truth in those verses? John 1:14 says, "The word became flesh and took up residence among us. We observed His Glory, the glory as the One and Only son from the Father, full of Grace and truth." Jesus is the truth. I've heard people complain about "having to go to church." I used to be one of those people. Now I love to go to church, and I say "I get to go," not " I have to go." We have to encourage one another to meet with other believers. (Heb. 10:25)
Do you take things serious enough, or are you just going through the motions? Is church something you dread, or do you look forward to it? If you are a believer and follower of Christ, Satan knows he can't take your salvation but he will try anything and everything to distract, discourage, and trip us up. (Eph. 6:12) What helps us fight against the evil one? A close personal relationship with God through the study of His word, and a dedicated prayer life allows us to trust Him to take care of us.
