Redeemed, Completely 

     "All over the world people of different backgrounds have the same frustrations and desires. Their problems can only be met by Him who said, I am the way, the truth and the life - John 14:6.   

     "We must accept the entire challenge of Christ. Jesus said, unless you are willing to deny self and take up your cross and follow him, you cannot be his follower. - the late Billy Graham

Christ is the life. "There must first of all be life. In him was life, and the life was the light of men - John 1:4. He who has the Son has life - 1 John 5:12. I have come that they may have life - John 10:10.   

     "Don't be content with emotional faith alone. Don't be satisfied with an empty creed or mental concept. By yielding your will completely to him, you can have a whole Christ for your whole being. 

Christ is the way. Not a way of life. He is the way - the one and only. A narrow gate, difficult to find - Matthew 7:13-14. Not my will, but thy will be done - Luke 22-42. When our will is surrendered, the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace and longsuffering - will be our witness. 

Christ is the truth. Paul wrote, Be transformed by the renewing of your mind - Romans 12:2. ...to be spiritually minded is life and peace - Romans 8:6.  Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus - Phil. 2:5. 

     "These three dimensions of Christianity all merge into one person, Jesus Christ. He deals with our rebellious wills, redeems our minds, and replaces our fleshly emotions with love, joy and peace." 

     The late Billy Graham: "Don't be satisfied with an empty creed or mental concept of Christianity. Yield completely to Him."

Thursday: Holy, completely
