THE CHALLENGE OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
As followers of Christ it’s easy to project an image to those around us that we don’t struggle with sin. But God knows better. The war between good and evil that began long ago continues today within the believer’s heart.
Even though we are redeemed and will one day reign with Christ, we experience the daily struggle between obedience and disobedience. Apostle Paul lists the kinds of attitudes and behaviors that characterize our fallen nature; adultery, fornication, hatred, withcraft etc. (Gal. 5:19-22). But he also lists those godly qualities that reflect Christ’s own character and are pleasing to God.
The challenge of the Christian life is to yield our hearts to the control and direction of the Holy Spirit so we will bear fruit that is honoring to God and benefits those around us.
