Spiritual Health 10/19/2012

Good Evening ,
It is late and I am running behind today. But my coffee pot is set for 5 AM and a big cup of Bigby Caramel Coffee will be in my hand on the way out the door.

Good physical health is one of life's most cherished gifts. This is true for everyone. Today I want to talk about another kind of health. SPIRITUAL HEALTH.

The first mark of Spiritual Health is to believe on Jesus Christ and to accept Him as your Savior.
If you have never received Jesus as Lord and Savior, you must first of all be born again, born from above, born of the Spirit of God. You are dead in sins, and you need new life. Jesus himself said: I have come that they may have life. and have it more abundantly. John 10:10
The Bible tells us in Romans 10:13 that "whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Doing that, you become a member of God's family. You are saved from your sins. You are given new life. With Christ dwelling within, and by the power of the Holy Spirit you are given strength to also repent and have victory over your sins. You made the first and most important step to being Spiritually healthy.
 You might say. "But I am there already". Well this is one time where it is morally correct, legal, and just plain ok to share a pill with others. Many of us take vitamins for our physical health. Today consider this a "GOSPILL" and pass on the message of Spiritual Health to someone in need.
Have a great Friday
Marty

  1. ” have life more abundantly”
    When we have accepted Christ as savior, we are equipped to impact our world and the people around us in such a way that goes further than we can possibly imagine. We see that the trials that life throws our way are simply there to strengthen us so that our impact is that much more powerful. Through Christ, our ability to love is deeper and more rich. Without trusting in Jesus, yes you miss out on Heaven, but you miss out on life in all it's abundance. The knowledge that this life pales in comparison to Heaven, and it cannot be taken from you, is itself ” abundance. Great message Marty
