Many of you have been allowing God to change you since we started this series. I can tell by the number of people getting involved with ministry and CARE groups.
How do we keep it up? New things become old and the freshness goes away, how do we maintain.
First we can maintain if we stay focused on the fact that Jesus is coming back. If we get tired of something here on earth, we can continue on when we focus on Jesus and His return. I want to keep my eyes on Jesus and I pray you will also.
Nest we looked at doing the right thing. Many times we face doing what God wants and what our friends want to do. to sustain life change we learn to do the right thing no matter who is watching, God is always watching. Grace is not some grease we can slide into God's blessings, it take obedience after we become a child of God.
Our third point was to realise who we are. We are God's children with all the rights that go with that. Even though I love the song Friend of God and am glad I am a friend of God, to maintain under pressure, I remind myself that I am God's child.
To sustain we have to keep ourselves pure. Not that we can be perfect, but we can at least try. To know you are going to heaven, all we do is trust Christ's blood to get us on the road, nothing else can do that. God does expect us to learn to be obedient as we learn more about Him. He called us to be Holy, which means we will ask WWJD and then do that.
The last point was to love one another. You can sustain your new life change if you will obey Christ in loving each other. We do that by spelling love T I M E. We spend time with others int he church, a CARE group. We spend time with those that don't attend church so they know we love them. Most importantly, we spend time with God. Time reading His word, Time in prayer, Time in meditation will all help us to sustain our life Change.
You want to sustain a life Change, give it to God and then stay close to HIM!
