BIBLICAL SUCCESS
Hebrews
11:1, 6
Now faith is being sure of what we
hope for and certain of what we do not see. And without faith it is impossible
to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and
that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Christian success is being a
faithful Christian. The object of our faith is not ourselves but God’s Son,
Jesus Christ. Knowing Him as our Savior and Lord is the start of faithful
living. We are enabled by the Holy Spirit to share our lives with other people.
He will provide us with opportunities to share our belief and faith in Christ.
Knowing God’s Son in a personal way
makes sharing him with others more enjoyable and natural. Sharing Him with
others is Christian fellowship. From this point we are able to be successful.
Lives and hearts centered on His will is success. Scripture teaches about
Christian success and calls it faithfulness.
Focusing on God’s truth is
the start of our developing successful lives. Learning how to be faithful
directs us in successful ways. Christ is the starting point for any successful
faith. Enjoying Him results in a personal contentment in life. It allows us to
rely on God as the provider of our every need. His past record of faithful
provision makes our faith a comforting reality. We can be certain of His
promises for the future as well. We can be sure that faith in Him will make us
successful.
