I realize humans like to “pay their own way” then we can feel as though we have control over whether we stay or retreat from a situation. But, true children of God understand that grace, a life in Christ, and eternity with God are gifts from God and cannot be earned or purchased.
It is all Yours from Him
We will not receive them by sending money to false or misleading ministries headed up by self-appointed preachers or teachers. They live lavish lifestyles, own private jets, limos, and require a large personal staff to meet their personal needs, on our money. All the while feeding you false information and guilting you into giving more. They are opportunists who step between us and our potential relationship with the Trinity and convince us we need a middleman to receive God’s blessings.
We do not need to send in “seed money” for prosperity. Everything we will ever need or need to do will come directly from God when we accept the gift of salvation and believe that Christ is the son of God. God will then install in us His desires for our hearts, and begin to grow us into willing servants. We will then be fit to accomplish the purposes of God’s plan for our lives.
Our eternal life is secured, our brief time in this world will have meaning, and we can live in this world free of anxiety, fear, panic, and anger because we are God’s and God never fails His own. That is what is meant by Freedom in Christ. Remember, God’s love is very conditional, and he is clear about that in his Book of Instruction, the Bible. God is seeking whom he will bless; do not miss your call because you stubbornly cling to your sins and self-importance.
Look at your life honestly, how is it working for you so far. Nothing we do apart from God will last or matter.
