How many people, following a job interview, are glad to hear these words? "When can you start?" The normal response to obtaining a job, is to follow through, and do the job.
Those who have received Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives, must follow through, and live a life [In Christ]. The Apostle Paul encourages the Christians at Colossae to follow through with their commitment to Christ.
"As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, So walk in Him." (Colossians 2:6 NKJV)
I believe that one of the hardest things in the Christian life, is to keep from being distracted. Our reading and applying God's Word, along with our prayer life, is vital to a strong, deep, and sincere, relationship with our Lord Jesus. But you can count on a number of things to be a distraction. Our enemy Satan works zealously to distract us. "As a roaring lion, walking about, seeking whom He may devour."
(1 Peter 5:8)
Just like with a marriage; for a man and woman to be close, they must work at being close. That time spent together, is essential in having a solid marriage relationship.
Think of our Lord Jesus Christ, as the best friend you could ever have. Being in His Word, and praying to Him constantly is how we can make our friendship with Him, the best that it can be. And we will be blessed beyond comprehension.
Let's not be distracted by the many little things that do not matter as much as this. Let's constantly, "Walk In Christ" (GP)
