Why I Am a Christian: My Definition of Life
My Definition of Life as a Verb
This is my definition of life as a verb:
Life is the space of time between birth and death.
Birth is the unification of spirit, soul and body — while death is the separation of them.
The Battle of Life
From birth to death is the battle of life.
This battle is a spiritual battle of words. These are the words of Truth against Lie — which is Light against Darkness.
It is a spiritual battle with physical effects. Nevertheless, YOU are required to decide who wins the battle of your life. If Truth wins, you will fulfil your destiny — your God-ordained purpose of life. But if Lie wins, you will end up a useless waste.
The choice is yours — now, before you waste the rest of your life believing a lie.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” — Ephesians 6:12
Your Mind Is the Battlefield
Note that your mind is the major battlefield — the bridge between your spirit and your flesh. Both your spirit and your flesh depend on your mind to determine who captains your life to victory, be it positive or negative.
The devil is the enemy. His weapon of mass destruction is “Lie” — and his mission is to steal, to kill and to destroy: spiritually, mentally and physically.
You need the unification of your spirit, soul and body to fulfil destiny.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” — John 10:10
If You Ask Me Why I Am a Christian
If you ask me what I chose — why I am a Christian — my answer is this:
I choose to be a Christian because I have come to see for myself that that is the only means — the only way — opened by God’s manifested love for me.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” — John 14:6
By it I am restored to that relationship of pure love with my Creator, God — which I always sought but couldn’t find, because I was lost in the midst of lust in a world of sin.
Restored — in order that I may manifest my God-ordained vision and calling here on earth, and live a well-fulfilled destiny of true success by His grace.
Restored to the cause of Truth in its holiness — before I die and stand before Him at His eternal throne of judgment, where useless excuses cannot save me from His righteous justice.
Knowing this for certain: without Him I can do nothing regarding whatsoever.
“For without me ye can do nothing.” — John 15:5
Mad in the Holy Ghost — With No Cure
I know that I am running mad in the Holy Ghost — which of course has no cure.
“Paul, thou art beside thyself… I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.” — Acts 26:24-25
And this has made many ignorant of the fact that I am a man of sure vision and calling, which cannot be denied by those around me. Yet I find it madness that men judge me for my present state — this burning fire of my love for God and for His Christ, for the work of spreading His gospel to as many ends as I can reach before my space of time elapses.
Seeing you have rightly said I have nothing but Christ to offer — but of course, what do you expect from a madman in the Holy Ghost, if not transmitting the same bite that got him mad?
Let No Man Trouble Me
Therefore let no man trouble me — for I bear in my whole being the Spirit of Fire, burning fire. So beware: do not seek to be my friend without catching the Fire that burns the garment of sin and bondage in your life.
“From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” — Galatians 6:17
Please do your best not to quench my life of burning fire — for your own good. Because my God is a jealous, consuming FIRE.
“For our God is a consuming fire.” — Hebrews 12:29
God bless you.
