IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE – TO HAVE ‘THE’ LIFE OR ‘A’ LIFE: BE WISE TO GET ‘THE’ FULNESS OF LIFE NOT ‘A’ PORTION AND ‘A’ PART OF LIFE!
“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.
Many times you hear people or someone say – Get ‘A’ Life. Most times the connotations is to make you get out of your high horse and do something meaningful or exciting or get engaged with the norm that’s around at the moment or the combinations of all and such like. To get ‘A’ life will limits you as a child of God, I can say that and tell you that because I know and understand the connotations. It thus indicates getting A PART or PORTION of the FULNESS of God for you in Christ Jesus. You are REDEEMED for the FULL DEAL OF LIFE AND NOT FOR A PART OR LIMITED DEAL OF LIFE. And THE LIFE is a person, that’s THE LIFE and THE LIGHT of men in the person of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, who then is THE WORD of God for our well-being. So, don’t just get A LIFE, but get THE LIFE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.
“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing MADE that was MADE. 4 In him was LIFE; and THE LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5 And THE LIGHT shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was MADE flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth . . . 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 16-17.
It’s time to Get ‘THE’ LIFE and not ‘A’ LIFE my friend. God wants you to have the FULNESS of life which is in Christ Jesus. What God offers in Christ Jesus is THE LIFE and not an ‘A’ LIFE. The Holy Writ do admonish and exhort that Jesus is the – ‘THE’ LIFE giver, not the – ‘A’ LIFE giver, which is toward DOING LIFE on earth and LIVING GODLY toward the heavenly. Look at the article ‘THE’ in the scriptural context of John 14:6, it says – ‘THE’ LIFE not ‘A’ LIFE. It thus indicates that the FULNESS is in Christ Jesus who offers THE LIFE and not A PART OR PORTION you get when propel by people to – GET ‘A’ LIFE.
This is to affirm also the Christian Faith is LIFE – THE LIFE – that is offered in the REDEMPTION OFFERING of Jesus Christ, which is not just A WAY of LIFE as some may have said or suggested as in religious circus. This is the Life which is in Christ Jesus and not of the five senses mindset of A WAY which many have been deluded with over time in COMMON sense and not SCRIPTURAL sense.
“For whatsoever things were WRITTEN aforetime were WRITTEN for our LEARNING, that we through PATIENCE and COMFORT of the SCRIPTURES might have HOPE” Romans 15:4.
You can infer this same insight to matter of Jesus Christ as – THE WAY and THE TRUTH. Meaning the CHRISTIAN FAITH in Christ Jesus is not of ‘A’ WAY or ‘A’ TRUTH but ‘THE’ WAY and ‘THE’ TRUTH. And it’s ONLY by ‘THE’ TRUTH in ‘THE’ WAY, that one can obtain SCRIPTURAL FREEDOM that is WHOLESOME indeed, and not by ‘A’ TRUTH or ‘A’ WAY. It’s upon this understanding, that the early Apostles where attributed as people of heresy and were persecuted as conveyor’s of heresy, as they were then nicknamed as people of – “THE WAY” – in the earlier Apostolic Christian walk in Christ Jesus stead.
“But this I confess unto thee, that after THE WAY which they CALL HERESY, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets” Acts 24:14.
I pray as you ponder meditatively you will get insight and foresight to the realm of the enabling that God offers in THE LIFE in Christ Jesus stead for your good and goodness in His BLESSEDNESS. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
