FIRE BURNING CHRISTIANS

Many come to Jesus but few are prepared to go all the way. This is what leads to compromise and decline in faith. Faith born in fire will produce fire burning disciples. This is why those from persecuted nations see miracles everyday. You need to be born in fire to produce fire burning Christians. The world will reject you but this is part of the course. How can the world like you when you are burning and causing others to burn as well. Fire and light go together. The greater the fire, the brighter the light. Burn for Jesus and become as pure gold. Gold that has been refined is precious because it is purified by fire. So also when you go through trials and tribulations remember that this is part of the process of refinement. The gospel without the Cross is empty. The Cross defines you as the one who is prepared to die for your faith. The Cross is a sign of judgement as well as peace. Judgement to those who reject the gospel and peace to those who receive the free gift of salvation. What a paradox? It is this paradox that causes many to fail and fall. God’s grace and judgement are two sides of the same coin. Just as good and evil coexist so also the path to heaven is ridden with joys and tribulations. Why do good people suffer? This is because in the flesh and in this world both good and evil co-exist. Choose good and good will be attracted to you. Choose the way of love and love will come your way. Give and it will be given to you, pressed down and overflowing.
