Beloved in Christ, what make a vehicle to move? I believe this a straight forward answer that everybody knows: that is the "petrol or diesel," which serves as chemical energy for the vehicle. Many people believe that the physical food that we eat control our moving and any activity that we do. This true in one sense, but I tell you, when we talk about life in totality, we are talking about our Spiritual Soul, which is our lives, the physical food is sustain us to work, but the one that keeps the soul in active is the "Word of God."
When the Soul dies today where will the physical body or the flesh be? The flesh would not have any ground to stand, since the Spiritual soul controls to the body in all things. And is the the word of always nourishes the soul and keeps it healthy.
So Jesus said in Matthew 4:4 (NIV) that, “It is written: "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." The food which mankind will eat and get energy to work are there to sustain us temporal on this earth, and the word of God keeps us to eternal life. The physical food accomplishes its task on this earth, but the word of good keeps us living and extend our lives to heaven, a home prepared for the righteousness in future. What do you thing in this life as your fuel, on like diesel and petrol that keep the vehicle in constant motion? What do you think your strength is embedded in?
John 6:63(NIV)
"The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.
Beloved, it is obvious that when the Spiritual soul dies today the flesh is nothing as the Scripture puts it, so it must constantly be fed with fuel which is the word of God. It always fill our inner being with hope, happiness and strength. We cannot live without the word of God, since it is the main driving force in all aspect of our lives; it direct our path, shapes and model us and helps us to escape all barriers in life.
It is the main fuel which is going to determine our chances in the next continent, that is heaven laid before us. Here is what people who are yearning for in life struggling to be part in this continent. So God's word is the great substance in human's life, we cannot live without it. Therefore let us build our hopes and faith in it, so we can live eternally in our next home which all Christians are waiting for. Thank you for finding time to read this post!
