From the Apostle's Pen

Life is a Gift Live it Well

Mal 3:12


And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. (KJV)


"Life does not consist in what a person possesses, but in what possesses them." - Unknown


Greetings to all in the name of God who is the giver, and the sustainer of all life. I just want to share with each of you the importance of living our lives well. When we think of living well too many of us, shortchange our selves by immediately focusing on things and stuff. But, real living, done well is to live through obedience to kingdom principles as outlined in the Scriptures. No one who ever truly lived well was able to do so without obedience to God Word.


I believe that whenever you are given a gift you are responsible for honoring the person who gave it to you by caring for it to the best of your ability. I believe this fact is doubly true when the gift is one that is priceless in nature. The fact that it is priceless means that it is irreplaceable. God the Father has given us a priceless gift, referred to as "life." The soul of any human being is priceless because in its original state it was created by God and given God's nature and character. The earth was created for us to live to the glory of God in a happy state through keeping God's laws. We were intended by God to be his children who would rule the earth in his absence and until he returns, enjoying everything within the earth in its proper context.


In order to more fully enjoy the life that God has given to us we must study the Scriptures to discover what is the proper way of handling our lives. When you study the Word you will discover that God is concerned about our success on the planet in every way imaginable.

There are three primary areas that the Word of God focuses on and when we keep the laws of God in these areas success is guaranteed. They are: What we believe (think), Our manner of living (what we do), and what we eat. When these three things are in alignment with God's Word we have the prescription for optimal living. God wants us to live to the highest standard of life possible for us as individuals and as citizens of the Kingdom of God. The choice is yours!
