God keeps us through His Holy Spirit, His Word and His power that can control our lives. Hide God’s Word in your heart and mind so it changes how you live.
Because Christ is alive we have a certain hope for our present, future and eternity. Our faith is kept by the Word in our hearts and by the Holy Spirit living in us.
Start with God and ask Him for advice. We can invite God to get involved in our ordinary life. You get comfortable with God as Father when you make Him Lord.
What sanctification of the Holy Spirit involves: Holy Spirit is active in our new birth in Christ and gives us assurance of belonging to Jesus. He guides, convicts, converts and prays for us.
The meaning of being “elect”. God already knew the plans he had for you, yet gave you free will to choose Him. He chose you to accomplish His purposes.
Give thanks. Why? Because that’s God’s Will in Christ, concerning you. The miracle of the Christian life is tied somehow to our willingness to thank God for what He’s doing in our lives, whether or not we like it.
Watch out for the things that make you unready — indolence and self-gratification. And then put on what’s going to protect you and keep you sane and stable in a world full of stress.
