As children of GOD we have a duty to our fellow Christ followers. That duty is to minister and fellowship to and with each other. This is why it is so important to meet in person and to fellowship together and to study the Word of GOD together.
Often during these encounters we can see people we know straying from the truth of GOD's word.
Know this, Jesus is the TRUTH. And the one and only way to get to the FATHER is through the Son, the TRUTH.
So when a fellow Christ follower corrects us and advises us that we are on the wrong path, we need to earnestly heed them. We all slip off the path, perhaps ever so slightly, but slipping nevertheless, to eternity with GOD, at one time or another. Therefore a kind word, reproaching and correcting us, is, and should always be so welcome.
We cannot simply believe in the "once saved always saved" statement. There is no such thing. Once saved, our journey begins. The path may get steep and we need correction to stay on it with eyes fixed on the Cross of Calvary and our Redemption. We need all the help we can get. And we need to link arms with our fellow Christ followers and help one another towards our prize. Eternity in the arms of Jesus Christ.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, thank YOU that I am a child of YOURS. Thank YOU that I have fellow Christ followers around me to help me to get to YOU. I humbly thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay truly GOD blessed today!
