John 8:31-32 (NKJV) 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
As a believer growth is essential, and it comes by us abiding in the word of God.
His word will touch our hearts and change us deeply if we accept it and act in accordance with what it says.
Jesus said that we are His disciples if we abide in His word.
Do we want to be disciples of Jesus Christ today?
If so, then we need to do as the Jesus taught, and abide in His word.
His word will bring conviction, correction and deliverance to our lives, helping us overcome our fleshly desires.
There is strength and wisdom that comes from the word of God. And as we learn of His truth, He will free us in every area of our lives as we allow Him to do so.
There’s a sticking point in all of this. What is it? Our flesh!
The flesh cannot please God. It has to submit to Him.
Romans 8:8 (NKJV) 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
We must teach our flesh to submit quickly to the word of God and heed His commandments. It must be in submission to Him at all times.
So, here is the question we all need to ponder on and give an answer to; Are we ready to be His disciples?
