May the love, peace and endless blessings from our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of us. What kind of life does our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ expects from us? Our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ expects us to live a holy life (Matthew 6:9-10, 7:21-27; 2 Timothy 1:9; Hebrews 12:14) because we are created in His own image (Genesis 1:26-28, Isaiah 9:6). Genesis 1:26-28 NLT 26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings* in our image, to be like ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” 27 So God created human beings* in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” Isaiah 9:6 NLT 6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor,* Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Living a holy life means: 1. Living in Faith in God (John 3:16-21, Hebrews 11:1-40) and in obedience to His Will and Commandments (Matthew 6:9-10, 7:21-27). 2. Loving God, our fellowmen, our self and other God’s creation; particularly our planet Earth (Matthew 22:34-40; Exodus 20:1-17; Genesis 1:28). For us to be able to live a holy life, we must undergo the following spiritual process: FAITH IN GOD, REPENTANCE, SPIRITUAL REBIRTH/GROWTH/MATURITY AND BAPTISM OF FIRE (see explanation below). What is a TRUE FAITH IN GOD? A TRUE FAITH IN GOD is God’s spiritual power in our heart that gives us power to do the following: 1. To believe in God and in His Words: The Holy Bible without any doubt, although we do not yet fully know God and understand His Word (John 3:16-21, Hebrews 11:1-40). 2. To do the Will of God and obey His Words: The Holy Bible without any doubt and hesitation, although our human understanding does not yet fully understand His motive and purpose (John 3:16-21, Hebrews 11:1-40, James 2:14-26). Our Faith in God is developed and becomes powerful by continuous listening, studying and meditating in the Word of God: The Holy Bible (Romans 1:17, 10:17; John 5:39-40, 6:63, 15:1-10) It is the power of our Faith in God that mobilizes our freedom of choice to obey God and bear the following spiritual fruits in our life: 1. REPENT (refer to post about “REPENTANCE”) 2. Undergo SPIRITUAL REBIRTH (John 3:5). 3. Overcome/win our Baptism of Fire. (Please see explanation below) What is REPENTANCE? REPENTANCE means to be “BORN OF WATER”(John 3:3-8). It is a spiritual act on the part of man to accept God’s gift: “SPIRITUAL SALVATION, ETERNAL LIFE and restoration of being sons/daughters of God who will join Him in “THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN OR THE HOLY CITY: THE NEW JERUSALEM”(Revelation 21:6-8), that our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished through His death on the cross (John 3:16-21). When a man REPENTS, God expects him to do the following acts through the help and guidance of our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ: 1. To completely surrender to God (Matthew 3:2,8,11 & 4:17; 6:9-10; John 3:3-8). 2. To do the WILL of GOD (Matthew 6:9-10) and obey His commandments (Matthew 7:21-23). 3. To replace our Human Will and Satan (Galatians 5:16-21) as our god in this sinful world by our ALMIGHTY FATHER OUR LORD JESUS CHIRST, as our new GOD here at the Kingdom of heaven on Earth. 4. To hate, expose and destroy Satan and the territories of darkness or causes of SIN (Ephesians 6:10-18). What is SPIRITUAL REBIRTH? SPIRITUAL REBIRTH means to be “BORN OF SPIRIT” (John 3:5). It is a spiritual action from God that replaces our Human Will or the spirit of Satan which was removed when we REPENT by a SPIRIT OF GOD or THE HOLY SPIRIT. The HOLY SPIRIT within us gives us power to do the WILL OF GOD and live like our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ, after our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ baptised us in The Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:49;John 14:15-18; Acts 1:4-5, 2:1-36). What is Spiritual Growth and Maturity? Our Almighty Father expects us to grow and mature spiritually, in the same way that our physical parents expect us to grow and mature physically. The sign of spiritual growth and maturity is manifested in the following: 1. The Word of God we received is being applied in our daily life. 2. We start to be entrusted of God’s Word and works of The Kingdom of God. 3. We are prepared to face our Baptism of Fire. What is BAPTISM OF FIRE? Our Baptism of Fire are trials and sufferings we experience in our life (Matthew 3:11, 5:10-12; Revelation 21:7; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15) for being a son or daughter of God and doing His Will and Commandments (Matthew 6:9-10). It is a gift or blessing from our Almighty Father our Lord Jesus Christ for being His son or daughter (Matthew 5:10-12, John 1:12, Revelation 21:7). For sinners, false prophets/teachers and Satan and his demons, Baptism of Fire is the suffering in Hell that they will face in judgment if they will not REPENT (Revelation 21:6-8, Matthew 7:19, John 15:6).
