Boasting in The Lord

"Thus says the Lord: 'Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.'” Jeremiah 9:23-24

Jesus tells us in the book of John that the only way to eternal life is through Him. It doesn't matter how "good deeds" a person does, how much money they do or don't have, or their level of education; a personal relationship with Christ is needed. We are nothing without Him, so let's share the light with the world.

Our Light

"In my inner being I delight in God's law" Romans 7:22

So often people say "let your light shine" and the like. But what does that mean? As we draw closer to Christ and learn more about Him, we begin to change. We develop/ hone in on the fruits of the spirit. We're kinder, more patient, more giving... We begin to feel joy in doing the works of The Lord. But that only comes through a relationship and can't be perpetrated. Let's put the same effort in spiritual body that we do our external body. 

"To be spiritually minded is life and peace." Romans 8:6
