If you died today, do you know where you would spend eternity?

Has anyone ever asked you that question?  Well meaning Believers have asked me and they were always satisfied with my answer of “yes: I was certain I would go to heaven when I died.”  Few Believers have asked me about the state of my life.  Was I living a life filled with the Fruit of the Spirit?  Did I even know there was a Holy Spirit actively at work in my life?  A question no Believer has asked me ever is, “is the life of Christ being formed in you?”

For that is the message I see throughout the New Testament.  Here are a few passages:

Galatians 4:19:  “My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you.”

2 Corinthians 3:18: “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

Ephesians 4:15: “but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into HIm who is the head-Christ-”

This Christian life is not about destination: heaven or hell.  Our lives are about Jesus Christ in us and we in Him.  Oneness.  Unity.

This is not something I was taught by those who ought to have taught it to me and so, as I work out my salvation with fear and trembling, I am learning what it means to be a New Creation in Christ Jesus.  This blog has become the place where I share what I am learning in the hopes that anyone searching will know you are not alone.

I have many and varied interests so I anticipate posting not only Bible studies but posts on History, Archeology, Physics, and Astronomy along with the occasional poem.  However, the majority of my posts will be Bible studies.

Life lived in union with the Father, in the Son, and through the Holy Spirit is awesome.  I want to share how awesome it is, if such a thing can be put into words.  I want to share the God of Love revealed in Jesus and who the apostle John describes in his letters: the God I know.  I am learning more and more about Him every day and I want to share that as well.

I hope you will join me.

I hope my posts bless you.

I hope you are inspired to know the Father and Son and Spirit for yourself.
