How is your spiritual life? Are you finding peace and guidance in your relationship with Jesus Christ? Are there unanswered questions that linger in your soul’s depths, causing confusion or doubt? If you were to stand before a court of law and be accused of being a Christian, would the evidence be compelling enough to convict you beyond any reasonable doubt? Remember that being spiritual means nurturing an active and personal connection with our Lord. It transcends mere religious practices or self-righteous acts. Instead, it revolves around acknowledging the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. Salvation is not earned through our works; it is freely given by accepting this precious gift extended to us. All we need is faith and a sincere desire to follow Him wholeheartedly.

Take Comfort In Knowing That Salvation Lies Within God’s Hands, Not Solely Upon Our Actions Or Efforts. Because If We Confess With Out Mouths, Jesus Is Lord, And Believe In Our Heart That God Raised Him From The Dead, You Will Be Saved! Keep Cultivating Your Spirituality By Embracing God’s Love And Grace In Every Step Along Life’s Beautiful Journey!

A spiritual person has an active relationship with Jesus Christ. A religious person lives by the works they do that make them think they are right with God and have them believe they are going to heaven. Remember that it is NOT what we DO to be saved. IT IS what Jesus DID for us to be saved. All we need to do is accept His gift of Salvation, have faith, and follow Him the best we can! It is what Jesus has done on the cross, not what we have done. ~ Bill Greguska

1 John 4:1  Dear friends, do not believe every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

What Is The Difference Between Your Soul And Your Spirit?

 

Are You A Spiritual Person On Weekends Only?

For example, many people call themselves athletes, but right there, it is undeniable that some people work out daily while others only work out once a week. They both might work out, yet the fruit they bear will not be equal. I am not saying a person needs to work their way into heaven, but I define a spiritual person.

A Christian like myself is not sinless, but a Christian should strive to be sinless because of our faith in God and because he died on the cross for our sins, which would have kept us out of heaven for eternity. I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. Plus, the fact that what is written in the Bible makes sense. ~ Bill Greguska

 

 

 

 

Are You Following The Spirit Of God?

 

What Are Your Spiritual Needs Today?Are You A Spiritual Person?

To answer that question, a person needs to determine their definition of a spiritual person is? I would not consider myself a religious person (I would consider myself a spiritual person) not because I attend church or am kind or helpful to others, but rather because I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. To the best of my ability, I try to follow the teaching of God’s word, the Bible.

In my own words, I would try to define a spiritual person by the fruit in their life—not necessarily what they say but how they conduct their lives. Their relationship with Jesus Christ best identifies that their lives best determine a spiritual person. If your spiritual life is hurting, remember that God loves you and has not gone anywhere; we turn our backs on Him!

A spiritual person has their eyes focused on Jesus Christ, not in this world!

Four Possible Reactions To A Spiritual Experience!

  1. A hard heart does not receive the word, and Satan can easily steal it.
  2. The shallow heart receives the word with much joy and begins to grow, but when persecution comes, it withers away because it does not have deep roots in a person’s heart.
  3. Also, a heart with other priorities receives the word, but the cares and distractions of this sinful world choke it out.
  4. A kind and humble heart receives and holds onto the word, producing much spiritual fruit through perseverance and obedience to God.

 

 

What Then Is The Problem If Jesus Saves?

The problem is that sin keeps us from God. The Bible declares that every human being who has ever lived has sinned Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23. That is why, because of God’s great love for us, he gave Jesus to us to die for us on the cross to eliminate sin and allow us to live with God in eternity.
