We must live in
Christ with no regrets. Anyone who looks
back on the life he had without Christ and longs to relive it is not really
living in Christ. Jesus wants a total
heart commitment to Him. There can be no
returning to the life once lived. There
can be no longing for the things that once captured the soul. There can be no returning to the days in
which living for Christ didn’t matter.
There can be no going back and undoing the changes Christ has made in
you. There can be no hesitation about
letting Christ have His way with you.
We cannot live in
Christ in the present and still live in the past. We cannot be fit for the Kingdom of God
without putting our old self behind us and letting the Lord create a new self
in us. There are only two options for us
if we want to spend eternity with Jesus:
we must never return to the life we once lived and we must keep our eyes
focused solely on Christ so He can change us into citizens worthy of
heaven.
Have you let go of
all that would hinder you from being fit for the Kingdom of God? Are you completely committed to living in
Christ? Are you straining to obtain that
which is before you? Are you keeping
your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your salvation?
If you are not
focused on Christ and His Kingdom, you are not fit for the Kingdom of God.
