A Shift in Focus Away from God to Earthly Things Makes an “Enemy of the Cross of Christ” and Leads to Eternal Death

MESSAGE SUMMARY:

In times of uncertainty and problems, far too many live and to act as “Enemies of the Cross of Christ” by having minds focused on earthly things as their lords of life. If this picture of life actions and focus describes you, then you very well may be on the road to eternal death and destruction. Therefore, you must return to Jesus and His way of doing things – Jesus’ pattern of discipleship, servanthood, and submission provide you with a path to your Salvation. Paul, in Philippians 3:18-20, defines an “Enemy of the Cross of Christ”: “For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.". God has told us that we are His children and citizens of Heaven. To this end, God has given you the Holy Spirit as a pledge of your inheritance as His child. Also, God gave you the Holy Spirit to provide you with the power to live a Spiritual life. As a follower of Jesus, your life focus is driven by the realization that you are His child and a citizen of Heaven; therefore, you and your life are all precious to God since He sacrificed so much to adopt you as His child.

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, My citizenship is in Heaven. (Philippians 3:20f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Matthew 7:19-23; Romans 8:13-17; Revelation 8:9-24; Psalms 49a:1-10.
