The Power To Live As You Wish

Living as a disciple of Jesus is simple. 

 

First, take in & believe how deeply God loves you. Dwell on it. Second, respond to His great love that makes us alive with Christ by humbling ourselves in faith & repentance. Third, lead a fully surrendered life of obedience that includes abiding in Jesus (John 8:31-32), neighbor love (John 13:34-35), and bearing much fruit (John 15:8). Simple, right? But if it's so simple why is it so hard? 

 

The problem is that our discipleship is fiercely contested. "Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a lion looking for someone to devour!" Here's a conspiracy theory that's actually true: The world, the flesh, & the devil want "to steal & kill & destroy" you. 

 

The solution? It's easy. Every day renew yourself in the gospel. Every day review these three steps. Like a recharged battery, you will have fresh power to live as you wish.
