the kingdom of God does not advance in this world through human endeavor. it advances through the life of Jesus Christ flowing through His servants who have died to themselves and their own desires. peter explained, "since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. as a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God." (1 Peter 4:1-2)
the will of God should be the primary focus of all Christians. to glorify Him should be our greatest honor and privilege. all else is a waste of time, and this world is perishing while too many Christians live out fleshly lives full of compromise and selfishness.
the good news is that our Lord is loving and merciful, and He will forgive all who come to Him in humility and meekness. He can take your life and make you as bold as a lion and bring your days as a timid Christian to an end. are you willing to submit to this process of being daily shaped and molded by the Holy Spirit?
if you are, you will not regret it.
