A Christ Centered Life/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
A Christ centered life is the best life for me. I function better with Jesus in my life. He keeps me centered, focused and at peace.
A Christ centered life never implies perfection (do it right all the time) but rather perfection (growing up). A Christ centered life is maturity in and through Christ, the Word of God and empowerment through the Holy Spirit. A Christ centered life is becoming more like Jesus through daily regeneration in our hearts, spirits, souls and bodies.
Growing in grace daily is a Christ centered life. Growing in grace is growing in our love and understanding of God and others. Jesus is the eternal Source of grace, but we are to follow in the footsteps of Jesus by giving to others the grace He freely gives to us.
Grace never implies a lack of wisdom or discretion. We are to always follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and God's Word in every situation, and utilize some good common sense.🤣. I'm just saying, y'all. Geeze Louise.😂
Grace implies, I understand that I too miss the mark. So who am I to judge, when I see you're genuinely trying to do better as I am. That's being like Jesus. That's a Christ centered life.
Jesus is the perfect One, Who the Bible says, never sinned. Jesus never did anything wrong while here on earth. Sounds intimidating. Doesn't it?
Well, it shouldn't be, because, although Jesus is perfect, He advocates for those of us who are yet becoming perfect as He is. He teaches us, shows us and helps us to become as He is in nature (character & personality). God centered is a Christ centered life.
Jesus said, "I only do as I have seen God the Father do." Jesus was the exact image and likeness of God in the flesh. Looking at Jesus was like looking at God in dynamics and nature.
Are you implying we become a clone of Jesus?👀 No... not at all.😂🤣. I am implying that people should see and hear a reflection of Jesus in how you live through spending time with Jesus on a regular basis.
The Word of God serves as an eternal mirror. The more we gaze into the Word of God and spend in the presence of God, the more we are organically interwoven into Christ nature. In other words, Jesus is rubbing off on us.🤣 He becomes not only Jesus the Advocate but, also, Jesus the eternal Influencer.
That's what happened to Peter. The people knew he was a disciple of Jesus by the way he spoke or how Peter approached the conversation. Paul, also, gave testament to the influence of Jesus by saying to other Christian's, "Follow me (pattern your lives after me) as I, myself, follow the pattern of Christ."
Christian's. Christ followers. A Christ centered life.
God doesn't want us to be religious. God wants us to be a replica of how Jesus approached people, challenges, the scholastics of higher learning and Q&A, because all of these are going to happen at some point in your life and throughout your life. Jesus was deep, but He was always very practical.
Therefore, as a Christian, the ways, revelation and logic of Jesus should be seen in you and through you on a daily basis in a deep yet practical way. That just means you are serious about your relationship with Jesus, and you approach Christianity without being spooky and religious.🤣 I'm just saying.
You mess up? So what. We all do. Get up, dust yourself off and keep living a Christ centered life.
Don't feel like being like Jesus today? That's okay too, because I guarantee the more time you spend with Jesus in His presence and His Word, it's going to be your first nature to be like Jesus. It is.
I'm telling you. Jesus has a way of changing us. We cannot always pinpoint when it happened, but we know it happened, because we see more of Jesus in how we live and respond to people, places and things.
That's why you here Christian's who have been saved for a while say, "Boy... if that happened to me back in the day, or if they said that to me back in the day."🤣 They say that because they are recalling the regeneration of a Christ centered life. In other's words, they weren't always saved but got saved.😂🤣
The older saints had a saying when I was coming up. They would say, "You may come as you are, but you won't stay as you are."😂🤣 It's true though, but THAT'S the power of a Christ centered life. Selah.
