Hebrews 2:14-18 NIV
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death---that is, the devil--- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Oh me of little faith, at least that is how I feel when I read scripture that remind me of the great work God has done. The question that comes to mind is how, if I believe that these things are true, should my life look, or how do I live?
Things I'm sure of, first that Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, that I am nothing without Him. Am I really sure of these? If I am Do I bare fruit? It seems that if I truly believe God, that fruit will be the prof.
I was laying in my bed a few nights ago asking God if I was baring fruit for Him, I started feeling a little panicky for a few min., I know me pretty well and most of the time I see the ugly and I worried because how could fruit come from that ugly?
Than I remembered his words, I should say He reminded me of His words, the ones that say things like "abide with Him", or "remain in Him" and that "he is the vine" and "trust in him." As He reminded me of His words the panic feeling went away.
It is about Him not me, and I pray that he would help me to abide with Him to run after Him to be present with Him to want Him and know Him all the days of this life. In Him that is when this life bares fruit, in him is where this life is lived.
