And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though
I wrote a new commandment unto thee,
but that which we had from the beginning,
that we love one another. And this is love,
that we walk after His commandments.
This the commandment, That, as ye have
heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
For many deceivers are entered into the world,
who confess not that Jesus Christ is come
in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Look to yourselves, that we lose not those
things which we have wrought,
but that we receive a full reward.
2John 5-8
Authentic Christianity where ever it exist in what ever portion of society that it exists, a fight against the cost human dignity that greed and selfishness has exacted upon people. Authentic Christianity teaches love towards man, not a love for everything that is immoral or is contradicted toward port to Scripture by people, know it teaches people the Gospel. Furthermore Authentic Christianity teaches those who have gained wealth to be generous, to have a proper view towards the privileges and responsibility that come when a person is financially successful. Wealth is not sinful, poverty is not sinful, what would be sinful, that is missing the mark of being an Authentic Christian is to not use wealth properly and to manifest humility especially toward those who do not have the same financial success as one's self. Just because a person does not have lots of money, that is a affluent lifestyle and who live in circumstances that they can only afford modest, as we all must do, show diligence, patience, and industry. A problem comes when we simply lay before the feet of Jesus to ask them to do things that we ought to be doing such as putting out resumes, going and looking for a job, improving upon a person's education if necessary, and a recognition that Authentic Christians execute their responsibilities that are to be done and to not have envy towards those who are financially better off than when South so as to have bitterness towards them and even towards one's own state. Paul in writing to Timothy gavest these words:"but if godliness with contentment is great gain."
What does it mean to have contentment? Me to recognize the things as they are and not the way we think they should be and to understand that one day all things will be as God intended. It is interesting that we will pursue the things that we enjoy, things that bring us some sort of satisfaction even those things of this world, even if those things are not immoral. We put a lot of energy in those things. But it is the amount of energy that we pursue its important because if our pursuit is going in the opposite way that God has intended for us to go, that is to pursue worldly wealth or power or fame thinking that this will give us a better life; it will not review will find that the ultimate value of this pursuit is not worth much. There are great benefits for Authentic Christian Faith as it will produce a state of inner peace a piece that gives greater satisfaction than anything that is worth huge amounts of money or even huge amounts of time to pursue deals things for the benefit of Authentic Christian Faith has greater satisfaction. You do not need to be wealthy to have satisfaction or contentment in his life where there is much to be said about a simple life, in fact the Bible encourages a simple life. The bottom line is that if you are looking for true treasure it is to be found in a person having Authentic Christian Faith. It is snowing that your inheritance that Jesus Christ died on the cross to give to you will one day be yours and here is worthy true value for your life is to be found.
The current state of Christianity having become understood that it has wandered far from the Authentic Christian Faith and replaced it with the culture of the world and knowing that this is the problem the answer to this problem is simply right at hand. It is you or you have the answer, for you have the solution, and you have a guidebook to lead you to implement the answer and to apply the solution. QUESTION: HAVE YOU OPENED YOUR EYES? ARE YOU WILLING TO APPLY THE SOLUTION?
The soul of the sluggard desireth,
and hath nothing: but the soul
of the diligent shall be made fat.
Proverbs 13:4
You have the answer
