| Growing in Christ |

| |
Once we realize we are christians, God wants us to reap the benefits of the wisdom he has given us in his word... Not to sound like a legalist, BUT God's word gives us laws to live by, when we keep these laws close to our heats we line ourselves up with a great amount of success, but if we forget, and stray and do as we choose, ignoring the advise and prescription the Lord has given us, than we create a house of ruin. All of our hard work will be for nothing it will all just wash away. Because there is so much knowledge and wisdom in God's word, it takes time to learn all of these things. We have to keep studying, and reading, and practicing what God would have us do until it is second nature to us. Each new behavior is like laying a brick on a solid foundation... We are building our house in Heaven.
God bless,
Hollie
7:24 "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; 7:25 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 7:26 And every one who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house upon the sand; 7:27 and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell; and great was the fall of it." |
