The difficulties in life that we face may seem like an insurmountable mountain.
They can seem like each day includes multiple obstacles that we must deal with and endure. We live in a broken and fallen world and in a broken and fallen world, broken and fallen things happen. |
Knowing the Lord not only has the awesome benefit of his great sacrifice for us in that we will have
Eternal Life, but also while we live and face these great mountains of our Life, our Lord is helping us, guiding us, enabling us, thru his strength to live a truly abundant Life. Come with us on a journey and become one with the mountain. |
Many religions teach many different definitions of what Salvation is, and this can be very confusing, however, it is most important that we truly have an understanding of God's definition of Salvation. To have the understanding of this we must consult an absolute authority, So given that we want the truth regarding Salvation we turn to The Bible, which is the only authoritative teaching of Gods will.

Faith is the ability to trust In the Lord. it is the ability to believe that whatever God has said, he will do. In simple terms Faith is believing that God is who God is. the Bible says that we cannot please God without Faith. This being so an important component of a Christian Life lets look. at what the Bible has to say about Faith.
What is Eternal LifeAccording to the Bible Jesus has said " In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." Jesus has come and been the sacrifice that was required that we might be reconciled to God and the Truth. In doing this he showed his mercy, his grace, his great love and that " I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."
God has prepared us a place whereby we might be with him for all eternity. What is Walking with GodThe Bible states that "And Enoch walked with God". According to the scripture Enoch walked with the Lord and even was translated because the Bible says that "and he was not; for God took him." Enoch has a very special relationship with the Lord and like each of us had a very special purpose.
In our definition of Walking with God, our emphasis is on being humble before the Lord and following after the Lord and his Truths. That is truly humbling ourselves before the Lord and being willing to follow his path and do his will. In this way we become in-step with the Lord and look at sin and situations closer through his view. |

A Breathtaking AdventureLiving the life of a Real Christian is a Breathtaking Adventure as well as being a difficult path.
Some Folks think that after you become a christian that all is smooth sailing, that there are no issues, no problems, no troubles and everything is easy and breezy. Actually that is not exactly the Truth. "Living as a Real Christian offers many obstacles, heartache and grief: however, the benefits of knowing Jesus and sharing our trials is truly the greatest adventure." Our Lord said "If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you". Walking as a Real christian means taking a stand on the Truth of the Lord. That Truth is often in conflict with our post modern culture and its beliefs. Having a reconciled heart manifests itself in loving folks and this will cause much sorrow and concern seeing the dark paths that some are walking, but we are still called to Love and Pray. Although many aspects of the Christian Life are difficult but there is no comparison when weighing the great benefits of knowing Jesus! The peace of God, when all around you seems to be trouble. The Love of God,that you feel when you have connected with the Lord in prayer. The great feeling given by God,knowing that you have been given direction, purpose and set upon a path. The promise of Eternal Salvation of a Loving, Living God. All the mountains of life are owned by him and with his help everything is possible. Amen |
