ALL Who Live Godly Lives In Christ

 We live in a fallen world, and there are many challenges that face the believer who has not only trusted Christ for salvation, but is also ready and willing to deny self, take up his cross, follow Christ’s example, and say without compromise: Thy will, not mine, be done.
 The newborn baby Christian has to grow in grace and mature in the faith over an unspecified period of time, to reach this level of maturity in his or her faith, while others who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ may slip in and out of carnality and worldliness for many years, stunting their growth and even regressing in their faith back to spiritual infancy.
 Sadly many believers, although saved by grace through faith in Christ, refuse to move past the elementary principles of the Christian life. Many are falsely taught that becoming a Christian will secure a quiet life and provide a ticket to prosperity, with numerous earthly blessings and a free pass from God, to prevent or remove any difficulties or dangers that may arise. But this is not what the Bible teaches. We live in a fallen world with a spiritual enemy who prowls around as a roaring lion  or appears to us as an angel of light  seeking to devour, destroy, or deceive us.
  ALL Who Live Godly Lives In Christ will certainly suffer persecution. But we have also been supplied with many precious promises which reassures us that His grace is sufficient, His strength is perfected in our weakness, that suffering for Christ's sake is a privilege for the child of God, and that no amount of trials, tribulation, distress or persecution is able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy 3:12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege of being one with Christ, positioned in Him, and clothed in His righteousness. Help us to take this verse seriously, that we will suffer persecution if we live Godly in Jesus Christ. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for any attacks that the evil enemy of our souls can throw at us, and that nothing can ever separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
