God's word says that if we are His child, we are united with Christ. That should excite us! We should consider others better than ourselves. God is love and His love cannot be earned. Our attitudes should be the same as Christ Jesus. Jesus is God. God became a man so that He could die and save us. We are changed from the inside out. We need to find our identity in Christ.
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Our God is a consuming fire and He will judge the earth with fire. When that happens, there will be no place to run. When we die, what do we expect and what are we hoping to take? The things that our world holds dear are not important, what is important is whether or not our lives are hidden in Christ. We are not to fear what the people of this world fear, Christians are only to fear with reverential awe, the Lord our God. The world cannot destroy the Kingdom of God! Jesus died and rose again so that we might live.
