Journal 4-27-14

ACTS 2:47 – Praising God and having favor with all the people and every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved.
JOHN 3:16; 6:47; 14:6

       In Acts 2:47 or Acts 2:42-47 we see that God originally set up His apostles like the foundation of modern day churches and the small groups within our churches. I think I can and should structure my life the same way. Bringing together friends and family for the breaking of bread “meal-time”, fellowship, praise, and accountability. For the sole purpose of bringing people to Christ and surrounding myself with people who also have the heart to follow Christ. This creates a security blanket for everyone and brings joy to the cause. It’s the basis for which God’s community grows. In John it tells us that the only way to enter the kingdom is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This being the obvious and knowing that sin in our lives tears down any communication we have with Christ! It just makes sense to surround ourselves and encourage ourselves with people like ourselves!

Prayer
Lord, help me to live my life in a way that reflects my goal of spending eternity with you.

Thoughts: 
Let’s quit making life harder than it is and go for it all! Let’s build a network of people to surround ourselves with that won’t encourage sin in our lives but push the almighty love of Jesus Christ in our face. The more good influence we have in our life the easier this life as a believer will be for someone who already has had a good taste of the world! We must learn to hate the sin of the world and pursue things that will build our relationship with Jesus Christ.
