Corinthians 5:15 And he
died for all, that those who live might live no longer for themselves but for
him who for their sake died and was raised.
Many of us have moved on in
our lives and careers and we often forget the basics of what we learnt when we
started out. When I wrote an exam for an Honours degree I was caught by
surprise when the questions asked were that in a first year undergraduate exam, I did not do well.
So many of us have forgotten the basics, we know the fancy stuff which makes us
feel good, but somehow we’ve lost it.
In the same way as
Christians we have lost the basics, we loose the true message in the hype of
doctrines and church politics. The simple truth is we need a Saviour, and He
calls us to repentance, when we are filled with the Holy Spirit we are filled
to be witnesses of His saving grace in our lives. He was born to this purpose
and He died to this purpose and He rose from the dead to this purpose, and He
is coming again to finally fulfil this purpose. The question is as a Christian
have you forgotten the basics.
Be encouraged today to be
mindful of the basics that brought you to salvation.
David
Point to ponder: Get back to basics.
