Fire Insurance
A New Way of Thinking
Do you know anyone like this: They went forward at a Christian concert, or a church service, years ago. But their life today doesn’t show much signs of the Savior’s presence. They may go to church, but there’s just no fruit. New life in Christ as a onetime solution to a crisis, not a lifelong process. They think that once they’ve made peace with God their spiritual journey has come to an end.
They sit back and relax with their spiritual “fire insurance policy.” What a pity! Because, life in Christ is so much more than that! Yes, we have eternal life when we die, and we also have abundant life here on earth. Now! Jesus said that he came to give us a life of joy! In John chapter 15 he says, “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you [listen to this] and that your joy may be complete.”
If you know someone like I just described, don’t wait another minute! Encourage your friends to give the whole of their life to the inner control of Christ and the amazing benefits that Jesus Christ graciously brings about.
You could help them by meeting to read the Bible together once a week and pray together. Let them know when you see the fruit of the Spirit in their life. They’ll be encouraged to make life with Christ more than just the glorious fire insurance that it is.
