Live to Him

Yesterday morning, I was freshly enlightened by the Bible verse on "living to Him." The ministry literature opened my eyes to see the depth of the truth concerning living to the Lord. Therefore, I shared with all my classmates the following message. I also quoted the verses in all the languages my school mates are speaking.

Sharing with all my today's "manna"; I was freshly enlightened by these verses from the Bible.

“For whether we live, we live to the Lord, and whether we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore whether we live or we die, we are the Lord’s. For Christ died and lived again for this, that He be Lord both of the dead and of the living.” (Romans 14:8-9, RecVer)

हो, हमी सबैजना प्रभुको लागि बाँच्दछौं। हामी आफ्नै निम्ति बाँच्दैनौं अथवा आफ्नै निम्ति मर्दैनौं पनि ।

8  यदि हामी बौरीउठनु बच्नु भने हामी प्रभुको लागि बाँचिरहेछौं। अनि यदि हामी मर्छौं भने, हामी प्रभुको लागि मर्दछौं। यसैले हामी मरौं कि हामी बाँचौ हामी प्रभुकै हौं।

What a blessing to be able to read and understand the word of God in our mother tongue!

Read your Bible everyday...

Today, in the online meeting for the seekers in Madhya Pradesh, the burden the Lord gave me is just this, in continuation of the word released last week on persecution.

As Christians, we were purchased by the Lord, therefore, we all belong to God. As such, we have no right to live our own life but to live to God. In living to God, we are always determined to please God. To live to God is to please God. To please God is to do His will. 

As a slave belongs to his master who purchased him, likewise as a Christian we belong to Christ who purchased us at the cross. Christ loves us and gave His life to purchase us, and we are constrained by His love to love Him in return and to live to Him, to please Him.

“Therefore also we are determined, whether at home or abroad, to gain the honor of being well pleasing to Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:9, RecVer)

“For the love of Christ constrains us because we have judged this, that One died for all, therefore all died; And He died for all that those who live may no longer live to themselves but to Him who died for them and has been raised.” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15, RecVer)

The way we can practically live to God is by the fact that in our believing and baptism, we have been crucified with Him and that He has become our life and our living; a life living in faith, which also His faith in us.

“For I through law have died to law that I might live to God. I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” (Galatians 2:19-20, RecVer)

This truth may be deep and profound, nonetheless, experienceable. Only by growth in the divine life, can we live such a life. For this, we need to consecrate our life fully and absolutely to the Lord, and live to Christ, pleasing Christ, doing His will. Amen!

Lord, grace us to live You.
