Kingdom Living is Finding Real Life
Kingdom Living is Finding Real Life
Lost and Found
But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Philippians 3:7-11
There are only two kinds of people in the world lost and found. There are two kinds of systems the world system and the Kingdom of God system.
The world’s system, in which the enemy of God wants you to believe, teaches that there are many kinds of people classified by sex, race, weight, height, age, wealth, job, position, prestige and power. The world measures people differently than God. The world’s system can disguise itself as a religious system making you believe the way to God is by self-effort and doing good works. The world’s system can lead you to harden your heart towards the lost. It can cause you to see the lost as a nuisance or even a threat to yourself, family, children, work, community and nation.
God looks at the heart of man. Paul describes his life from a lost and found perspective.
People who are lost are people who have not been found. They don’t even know they are lost. They are empty, trying to fill up their lives with false fulfillment. They fill themselves with the emptiness of work, hobbies, relationships, power, prestige, stuff, religion and substance. They are continuously searching to fill the emptiness.
The found person, saved person, transformed, redeemed and born again person recognizes their need for a Savior from the empty system of this world. They receive the Agape Love of the Father through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The transformed life embraces Jesus Christ by faith as the payment for all their sin past, present and future. God will remember their sin no more.
Seek today ALL that has been lost to be restored fully in Christ Jesus. Your joy, peace and presence with God now. You were lost now you have found REAL LIFE in Christ Jesus. Real Life is life with the Holy Spirit now. Real Life is with the Godhead living in you now.
