“This will continue until we are . . . mature, just as Christ is, and we will be completely like him.” —Ephesians 4:13 (CEV)

“Spiritual Growth Is a Lifelong Journey” —By Rick Warren:

“Becoming like Christ is a long, slow process of growth. Spiritual maturity is neither instant nor automatic. It’s gradual and progressive. Paul said, “This will continue until we are… mature, just as Christ is, and we will be completely like him” (Ephesians 4:13 CEV).

You are a work in progress. Your spiritual transformation —developing the character of Jesus—will take the rest of your life. And even then it won’t be completed here on Earth. It will only be finished when you get to heaven or when Jesus returns. At that point, any unfinished work on your character will be wrapped up.

The Bible says that when you’re finally able to see Jesus perfectly, you will become perfectly like him: “We are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is” (1 John 3:2 NLT).

Many Christians become confused because they ignore this simple truth: God is far more interested in building your character than he is in anything else.

People worry when God seems silent on specific issues, such as “What career should I choose?” The truth is, there are many different careers that could be in God’s will for your life. What God cares about most is that whatever you do, you do in a Christlike manner.

God is far more interested in who you are than in what you do. We are human beings, not human doings. God is much more concerned about your character than your career—because you will take your character into eternity, not your career.

God’s purpose is to make you like him before he takes you to heaven. Becoming like Jesus is your greatest privilege, your immediate responsibility, and your ultimate destiny.

Talk It Over:

How have you seen God shaping your character to be more like Jesus?

God is more interested in who you are than in what you do. How does knowing this change the things you’re praying about or worrying about?

Your spiritual transformation will take your whole life—and not be completed until you see Jesus face to face. How does that knowledge affect how you live each day?”

~0~ Psalm 19:1 ~0~

hewo :) I'm disneynerdpumpkin! 🎃💜 I'm a made new child of the King & I love Jesus! I am a Christian Tumblr blog.

I'm also a fangirl; I love Disney, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney Pinocchio, Winnie the Pooh, Gravity Falls, Wish, etc. etc. etc. etc.! I'm multifandom (but mostly Disney)

Check out my blog for fandom/fangirling content, scriptures, Christian content, and just overall wholesome content :D

Remember that God loves you and He has a wonderful plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago."

Here are some rules for my blog:

Please, no inappropriate asks. Ty :) (any inappropriate asks will be deleted and blocked and ignored) (NSFW blogs, please do not interact)

You can repost my stuff, but please just don't deliberately claim anything as your own

Have fun (obviously)

I want to make it absolutely clear that even though I'm a fangirl, JESUS is my #1 priority; NOT my fandoms.

Proverbs 4:23-27 "Carefully guard your thoughts because they are the source of true life. Never tell lies or be deceitful in what you say. Keep looking straight ahead, without turning aside. Know where you are headed, and you will stay on solid ground. Don't make a mistake by turning to the right or the left."

"YES, GOD CAN STILL USE YOU!"

Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above – spiritually transformed, renewed, READY TO BE USED] for good words, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].” (AMP) When David first arrived at…

Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Today we will be looking at the topic of vigilance. When we vigilantly “seek the things that are above,” we are not only looking forward to a heavenly eternity, but we should be finding ways to enact heavenly principles in the here and now, incorporating our new, spiritual kingdom life into the life we are living now. The apostle Paul stated it this way: Colossians 3:1-3 – If then you were…

Life in Short Bursts

I am in that season of life when stamina is not what it once was. Strength is less than it once was. Muscle tone is a daily battle that, if not fought and won, daily, is lost easily with further diminishment of strength and stamina. So I am learning to live life in short bursts, and I am learning that it is amazing what can be accomplished in those bursts. I don’t know who said it. I can’t…

Worldly Wisdom Yields Worldly Results; But is That Enough?

Since the Three Wise Men are part of the story of Jesus’ birth, you have to ask, “why were they considered wise?” (Ok, maybe it’s just ME who has to ask…) Christmas cards say, “Wise men still seek him”, but it begs the question: why don’t all men the world considers wise seek Jesus? In fact, some of them don’t care a fig for the Christ or the season in which we celebrate him. Perhaps there are…

“Keeping In Step with Christ” This 1-minute devotion explains why Christ told us to take His YOKE and 4 ways we can make sure we're doing it:

We always get out of step when we try to bear our own burdens, solve our own problems, and operate in our own power.

We need a yoke* that connects us with Christ so we can move in step with Him:

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Yoked to Christ, we walk where He walks:

1. Dwelling on His Word:

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly” (Colossians 3:16a).

2. Rejecting popular worldly philosophies:

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:8).

3. Following His purposes:

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

4. Walking in His power and strength:

“I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

Jesus says, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be" (John 12:26).

Best of all, when we move in step with Christ, we find rest for our souls.

-----------------

*Yoke: "zygós – properly, a yoke; a wooden bar placed over the neck of a pair of animals so they can pull together; (figuratively) what unites (joins) two people to move (work) together as one."

For a deeper understanding of taking Christ's yoke:

•Which yoke

•Yoked but unburdened

•Learn from Him

•Jesus invites us to come take and learn

•Come

(All Bible verses in the NIV.)

Eternal Assurance: Trusting in Christ Alone

Back in the early 90’s I faced a crisis as I held to a works-based salvation and constantly lived in fear of my eternal destiny. I had no assurance of my salvation because I never knew if I’d performed enough good works to validate my salvation. It was a terrible place to be. The solution came when I began to study the Scriptures carefully, stopped looking at myself, and fixed my “eyes on Jesus,…

Church notes - 3rd September 2023

3rd John 3:16, 17

Communion Isaiah 53

Sermon Matthew 25:31 - 46

Created for Ministry Ephesians 2:20 You were made to make a contribution, not just to consume.

Ephesians 2:10

Called to Ministry 1 Peter 2:9, 10

Gifted for Ministry 1 Peter 4:10

Commanded to Minister Matthew 20:22 - 26

What do you do about it?

Matthew 16:27

It is important that we meet the physical needs of those around us.

Simple acts of kindness. Things that take the focus off ourselves and onto others.

Made for a mission - to share the Good News with others. John 20:21 Acts 1:8

We're to tell others about God and His role in our lives. To share to Gospel. Luke 8:38, 39

2 Peter 3:9

We need to reach people who are out of our world. Like the Samaritans.

1 Corinthians 9:22

We are tasked to build bridges, not walls.

Is anybody going to be in heaven because of you?
