Let us hold fast the profession of our faith
without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)
and let us consider one another to provoke unto
love and to good works; not forsaking the
assembling of ourselves together, as the manner
of some is, but exhorting one another;
and so much the more, as ye see
the day approaching..
Hebrews 10:23-25
Authentic Christian Faith has as its origin the Divine, therefore, it has a position of superiority over other Christian faiths that have as their foundation the culture of this world. Cultural Christianity offers excitement, euphoric experiential Christianity that causes a person to feel as though they're doing that which is godly. cultural Christianity bases their faith upon works, that is, by doing things that make them feel self-assured that they are pleasing God and that God by that pleasing will give them eternal life. Authentic Christian Faith having as its origins of divine does not rely on such antics as seen in some denominations whereby people act out in ways that are almost insane, those things that are not to a true Christianity. We see such things is even within the Roman Catholic Church where people often in those countries where the cathedral has a stone path leading to them and people crawling on their knees until they bleed just to prove that they are worshiping God and are going to get something from God. the only thing a troop Christian must do to please God is to repent of their sins and accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior and then grow in sanctification according to the commands laid out for us as revealed to us by God.
it is true, that if a Christian, those with Authentic Christian Faith has seen that are amazing from God when he has done things to express His love. If we take the time to look closely at what God has done and is doing the cannot but see the marvelous intricacies of Authentic Christian Faith. What are the intricacies of the Bible? It's pretty simple, it is the central teachings of the Bible and the influence it that teaching hands upon the practical lives and that they exist in harmony and our faith never fails, that is if we take a close look, to apprehend this fact. How, then, does this harmony work out? It begins at the foundation of this fact: human beings are fallen in their nature. Secondly, this harmony is that with this fallen human nature there is still God reconciling us to a personal relationship with him and this through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. This harmony is reformation of, and restores our inner person by their very presence and action of the Holy Spirit. Oh! There are those who just will not see this fact: God is Triune, one God in three persons and it is those three persons working in your life that creates this harmony with your fallen nature.
Authentic Christians emphasize the Bible and have as their goal of spirit delivery a reverence and love of God. Was not the words of Jesus clear and plain? Are not authentic Christians to love God with their whole mine heart and soul and body? Yes! And then when we have come to love God in this way we can now love others in the same way as we love God. This is the reason why we go to church. Yes we go to hear the word of God expounded, but more than this, we are to care for one another and this even though more so as we see the day when Jesus Christ will return approaching. No, I do not know the very day, the very number of the day, the month, nor the year, that Jesus Christ is coming, but I do know this, He is coming on the last day and every day that goes by that day draws us nearer and nearer and is approaching so that Scripture applies to all of us in the present. Authentic Christians are humble people, especially regarding the possessions and the events of his life as they come parrot with the eternal things that God has promised, and a healthy practice of self-denial and humility.
Let us then, knowing all of this, to hold fast to the profession of Authentic Christian Faith. Life is wonderful and all that we have for we are conceived as a human being, born as a human being, live as a human being, and die as a human being and until the human being life is over we have the ability to enjoy what God has created, to have a life that is pleasing, even in the midst of trials and tribulations we can still smell the roses of course we had to choose to smell the roses. Will you? Will you live as an Authentic Christian? If you do you will find peace that you cannot measure, peace that only comes from God. We do not have to pretend to be an Authentic Christian, we are if we allow our lives to be led simply by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit that will lead us into his word as we read it and apply it without this world having an influence in our worship to God.
Is it not wonderful to be in Authentic Christian, to have Authentic Christian Faith? You know the answer!
And the LORD said unto Noah,
Come thou and all they house into the ark;
for thee have I seen righteous before
Me in this generation.
