Q&A: Is trying to follow God correct?

“So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬
http://bible.com/116/1pe.5.6.nlt

Have you ever been praised by people for your Christian work? If this is yes, good. But are you receiving nasty comments and persecution? If not, then this is bad. Let's see why:
“What sorrow awaits you who are praised by the crowds, for their ancestors also praised false prophets.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:26‬ ‭NLT‬‬
http://bible.com/116/luk.6.26.nlt

Jesus warns that if we are not being tried for our faith, we do not serve God properly and lie like James says. Proper Christians are not of an evil heart, having discontentment and never learning from mistakes. Yes, God does give grace, but we need to learn from our mistakes and NOT do them again. Not TRY! Because the trying of humans has failed them when trying to follow God. We always slip when we 'try'. That is why God lives in us, to MAKE SURE we obey His Will, and we no longer need to try to follow God!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
