What is the Christian Life?  Allowing Christ to Work Through You

 

Acts 11:25 - Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 

Acts 11:26 - And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And

it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church,

and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in

Antioch.

As we have looked at the Christian life, we have saw that it is a life of

service, self-denial, satisfaction, submission, and being Spirit-Filled.

  1. The Christian Life is allowing Christ to work through you.

As we think about what a grand and glorious feeling it is to be a Christian,

we still sometimes feel weary. Sometimes we feel like our service for the

Lord becomes a burden. I have good news for you today, we were never

meant to live the Christian life in our own strength.

There’s an old saying that goes like this, “If God leads you to it, He will lead

you through it.”

The promise from Jesus is Hebrews 13:5 - …….. for he hath said, I will never

leave thee, nor forsake thee.

The Christian life is all about allowing Jesus to live His life through you.

Sometimes we think the Bible characters were all super saints when they

were regular folks like you and me who allowed God to do great and mighty

things through them.

Remember the old song, “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ Blood

and Righteousness.”
