GO GREEN!!!
'For
God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.'
John 3:16(KJV)
Being 'green' in today's world is considered by many to be very
important with saving our planet.
However being 'green' is much more important to the issue of destiny!
This is because in God's own economy 'being green' and 'destiny' are
originally divine concepts that are spiritual. Being spiritual,such
concepts appear foolish or weak to the natural human mind even in
religious and/or moral people (1 Cor.2:14)!
'Destiny' is collectively all God that has dreamed for each and every
one to be,to have,and to do in this life,and in the life hereafter. It
spans time and spills over into eternity.
'Being green' is being in a state and quality of life in which one is
able to live out the dream of God for one's life. That state and
quality of life is called eternal life. It is the kind of life that is
in God. It is a life in which one is in union with God through Jesus
Christ.
'And this is the
record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his
Son.'
'He that hath the
Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.'
1 John 5:11-12(KJV)
One comes into this union through God's grace by faith in His
Son(Eph.2:8-9). One exercises this faith by receiving Christ as one's
personal Lord and Saviour into one's heart. When one does this,one
becomes a new creature in Christ,a person that now has life.
'But as many as
received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to
them that believe on his name:'
'Which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.'
John 1:12-13(KJV)
'Therefore if any
man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new.'
2 Cor.5:17(KJV)
Having life is really wonderful but one's new story is just starting.
As one walks by faith,one can and should enjoy that life to the
fullest!
'The thief comes
only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came
that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the
full, till it overflows).'
John 10:10(Amplified
Bible)
This faith walk involves one walking with God (Heb.11:6) and working
with Him (1 Cor.3:9). In other words,it is living through Christ and
living for Him (2 Cor.5:15). It is living and walking in the Spirit
(Gal.5:25).
Being green is so important to anyone discovering,pursuing,and
fulfilling divine destiny!
It is not being religious or moral,it is being spiritually alive in
Christ. This is because religion and/or morality however popular can
never make anyone 'green'!!!
Therefore 'go green':become 'green' in God's sight and impact your
world for Him through Him!
