We are an Internet Community Support Group here to work together and help reveal the meaning in Scripture pertaining to our Identification in Christ and the God intended Fulfillment of our individual lives here on earth.
Statement: Enjoying as much of Life; while keeping our Sanctification.
Scripture: Micah 6:6-8 ...No the Lord has told us what is good. What He requires of us is this: to do what is just, to show constant love, and to live in humble fellowship with our God. (Good News Bible)
Living the Ministry is about learning how to enjoy all the days of our life on earth without losing our sacrifice before God because of bad behavior, wrong choices or disobedience. Knowing that every single moment won't necessary be a happy one, our days can still be victorious ones that we can enjoy.
Life is a good thing, although we long to see our Savior's face and worship Him at His feet; He has given us permission, even desires that we enjoy the fruits of our labor and our days upon the earth.
He even promises us that with certain behaviors He will lengthen our days here. This is stated as a reward. So we want to experience what God has for us without corrupting it; this can be done, and that is what this group is about.
We are the Ministry that our title speaks of. It wasn't for the animals that God sent His Son, It wasn't for the vegetation that He came to earth, and it definitely wasn't for the rocks and minerals that He allowed His side to be pierced for to bleed from and provide redemption for.
It was us, believe it or not. We have been redeemed, restored because of His sacrifice. We should live the way it was intended; enjoying the benefits of life and happiness for which He has done so much to ensure we receive.
I wish to begin by helping us to understand the world around us and those things that we have come to tolerate that should not be a part of our lives. When we get involved with, or allow, the things that He died to put an end to, we destroy and shorten our lives here on earth. I love life and love it all the more because I have come to know more about His love and desire for me.
Thank God for his unwavering Love. So this is it. I pledge to become what God had intended, to live out what He desires of me.
