Are You a Romans 8:14 Christian?
For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by
the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Romans 8:13-14
Joshua and Caleb are described in Scripture as men who had a different
spirit. They were two of the 12 spies sent into the Promised Land to
determine if it could be taken, as God had promised it to them. The
other ten gave a bad report that instilled fear in the people, which
ultimately caused a rebellion. This resulted in an entire generation
dying in the desert. Joshua and Caleb were the only two who were led by
the Spirit of God, versus the spirit of fear. They were the only ones to
enter the Promised Land from their generation.
Are you a person led by the Spirit? The verse above tells us that those
who are led by the Spirit are sons of God. "But because My servant Caleb
has a different spirit and follows Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him
into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it" (Num.
14:24). Caleb was a Romans 8:14 man! The Spirit led him. He was not led
by fear.
Many of us have failed to enter into our own Promised Land because we
have failed to be led by the Spirit rather than by fear. Fear prevents
us from entering into what God has promised for each of us. God has
reserved an inheritance for us that is exceedingly good. God described
the Promised Land as a land of milk and honey. Our own Promised Land is
the same. But you must be led by the Spirit to enter in. You cannot be
led by fear, reason and analysis, or even skill. The Spirit must lead
you.
Commit yourself to being a Romans 8:14 man or woman. Then you will enter
into the land God has promised for you.
How to weave evangelism into your life at work�
Going Public With Your Faith flies in the face of almost everything
you've ever read or heard about evangelism. Going Public With Your
Faith, winner of the 2004 Christianity Today Book Award, is written for
all Christians who may not think they have a gift for evangelism but
want their lives to have an impact on the people around them. It
describes evangelism as a process and helps readers understand how their
skills and God-given gifts can easily be used to draw customers,
clients, and coworkers to new life in Jesus Christ.
