*In Christ, upon Christ, into Christ*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the chief corner stone and foundation.
Many spell Jehovah Shammah, Jehovah Rua etc these days. Thus, over the last 20 days we were meditating each and every one of these popular words. They aren’t the names of God but they were describing His characters.
We are named by our parents. Scripture says that elder names the younger (Heb. 7: 7). Also, based on our character, the community calls human with suitable names… like Father of Nation, Ultimate leader, Superstar etc.
We know There is none above God the Father...
who can name him?
So he said to Moses, "I am who I'm”.
Therefore, Israelites were calling God by His character.
These names were not listed to memorize.. Our purpose of meditating these for the last 20 days is to know the meaning of those words only.
It is our responsibility to leave such records in order to educate the upcoming generation.
Who can cover-up the entire list of God’s character? There is no end to it.
*Today’s topic*
We know that both Healthy soil and good water is required for a tree to grow healthy. If either one isn’t sufficient the growth will be surely spoiled.
Likewise,
(1)holding the faith firmly but
(2) *not doing ACCORDING TO CHRIST* will become vain.
Even we decorate our outfit with white dress, white hair & beard, benevolence, funny unknown words in prayer, mesmerizing worships, successful stage performances in the name of God – these are all mere physical talents but wont help us to take to eternity !
But, only the obedience exactly as per Christ’s commandment will help us to reach Eternity.
Even today, our life is given by HIS grace so to follow Him correctly. Let us shook-off all superstitions and turn back to Christ’s Command.
Do not be deceived with deceitful/rhetoric words but
every Christian –
shall be
rooted *in Christ*,
Built *upon Christ*,
& live *in Christ* (Col. 2:4-7)
We will receive the reward from Christ for our every good deeds. (Col. 3:23)
