We have been speaking about Assurance, if you are assured of what you believe you do walk in confidence, and we should have confidence in our walk as a believer {Follower of Christ}.
Hebrews 11 Verse 1: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we don't see".
When we read and take in Romans 8 verse 1 to 4: V1: "Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus,"
v2: "because the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death".
V3: "What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under the sin's domain, and as a sin offering",
V4:" in order that the law's requirement would be accomplished in us who do not WALK according to the flesh but according to the spirit."
Our Lord and our Friend {God's Son} paid the price for restoring us to God.
Romans 8 verse 31 and 32 "What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? V32 He did not even spare His own Son, but offered Him up for us all; how will He not also with Him {His Son} grant us everything?"
How can we not walk tall? God through what Jesus {His son} did for us on the cross and through rising again, made away for us.
But we also need to build ourselves up, sure Our Lord and Our Friend is with us but He is there to help, not just to carry us along.
1 Timothy 4 verses 7 and 8. v7 "But have nothing to do with irreverent and silly myths. Rather, train yourself in godliness, v8 for, the training of the body has limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.
In everything we do we owe it to Our Lord and Our Friend to do our best, not that doing anything will make Him love us more. It is out of our love for Him, we should do our best in everything.
Three steps to walking strong.
1. Make sure your head knowledge is felt and applied.
2. Find ways of loving others as Jesus loves you.
3. Thank God for the ASSURANCE of your forgiveness.
What a wonderful walk the Christian walk is, for the creator of the universe will be with you all the way.
God Bless
