Life in the Spirit

I was amazed recently when I read on another (supposedly Christian) site that "what Jesus taught during His earthly ministry was not Christianity."

It really stunned me.

Jesus said..."If you keep my commandments, ye shall abide in My love..." (John 15:10) So how could our Lord not have meant us to live by the tenants of the Sermon on the Mount?

The Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5-7) is a call to a life of extreme faith, extreme reliance on Him as our only Protector, Guide and Sovereign.

God says what He means, and means what He says.

How can folks who say that they believe in the inerrancy of scripture then proceed to throw out whatever they don't agree with?

Either it all stands as effectual for us today, or none of it does.

We are missing the beauty of relying completely upon the Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives. The Lord lives, He is reliable and true. He calls us, not to book knowledge or to accept a philosophy, but to a relationship with Him!

Seek out the God of the Bible. Let Him guide you. He won't lead you wrong.
