16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. ~ 1 John 4:16
We have to work in order to abide with and in God. We can’t live our lives however we want simply because we believe God loves us. Why? Because love is a two-way street. If God shows His love for us by His actions, then He expects the same from us. Our Salvation was paid for in full, but that doesn’t mean it ends there.
Now, we have to run. We have to run like our lives depend on it because it does. Our lives depend on whether our actions match our words. God isn’t going to hold us captive; we have to want to be with Him. In order to remain with Him, we have to follow His commands. We have to make a change.
Running the race set before us isn’t easy. It can be tiring, discouraging, stressful, and hard at times, but endurance is built with persistence and the grace of God. We have to fight for our lives. Don’t relax now that you are saved; this is the time to grow. We only have one life to do as much as we can for Christ. To do as much as we can to grow in our relationship with God.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Build Your Endurance.
