Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained – Philippians 3:16
As a follower of Jesus, it is important to pause and consider what you already have and what you already know. At the very foundation of your faith, you know that Jesus died for you. You believe in Him, and through His death and resurrection you have received forgiveness and the promise of eternal life.
Are You Living Out Your Faith?
Sometimes we make the Christian life more complicated than it needs to be. We fill our time with sermons, books, podcasts, and worship music. While these are good things, they can distract us from the simple truth that Jesus loves us and has saved us. The question remains: are we living in that truth?
Acting on What God Has Given You
God calls us to act on what we already know and have been taught. Faith is not just about learning—it is about living.
- Do you know that Jesus loves you? Then live as someone loved by Him.
- Do you know that Jesus calls you to share His love with others? Then show it in your actions and words.
- Do you know that your Father in heaven is all-powerful? Then trust Him and walk in faith.
Growing Deeper With Jesus
If you desire to know Jesus more deeply, begin by acting on what you already know about Him. As you live out His truth, He will reveal even more of Himself to you. Keep moving forward in faith, step by step, and your relationship with Him will grow richer every day.
