Abide in Christ
I am a child of God.
I was born in Adam, crucified with Christ, and now walk in the Spirit.
There is no difference in your business life and your spiritual life. You live a spiritual life. Your life in the flesh is dead. You either walk in the Spirit or you don’t walk in the Spirit. In all of your career, trust God for right and wrong. Do not trust yourself. Do not trust the world. You cannot “serve God” and “not serve God.”
This is complete folly. Even Christians will tell you it is a lie. It is not. It is the very core of the Gospel message. Through it you will see the fruits of the Spirit overflow from yourself to those around you. That is Christ overflowing through your spirit out of your flesh. You will have wisdom that you cannot explain. The world will see it as folly. Yet you know by the love that flows through you.
The Kingdom of God is like… a person with complete faith that they were crucified and now Christ lives in them.
We as a branch abide in the vine. We then grow, producing wood. This is solid and an outcome of receiving the sap. Let God prune the wood so that the sap from the vine goes to producing fruit, not maintaining wood.
So many people want the wood. Desire the fruit.
