(2026.1.05 The Encouragement of the Holy Spirit)
Those who are willing to eat solid food and be nourished by it will be built up and grow at the time God has appointed. They come to understand that God is not only merciful and loving, but also righteous and just as a Judge. They learn to stay far away from sexual immorality and evil deeds, and in their faith they become people who are willing to accept testing, endure discipline, and overcome. Because they choose obedience and walk with the Lord, they receive strength and are able to walk on the path of righteousness.
Faith grows gradually through training and practice. A person can move from weakness to strength, and from shaky faith to a faith that is real and strong, built up through continual practice and obedience. Such faith is not shaken by changing circumstances, but becomes firm and enduring, able to persevere to the end, walking on the road that leads to the kingdom of heaven and becoming a true believer.
In daily faith, we are to draw near to God, know Him more deeply, and submit to His arrangements for our whole life and to the purpose He intends to accomplish in us. Within God’s will, we are to live godly lives, honor the Lord as supreme, and rely on His strength so that we can stand firm and walk steadily on the path that leads to eternal life.
In God’s presence, we are shaped into courageous and strong people, becoming Christians who are able to carry their own cross, live out the life of Christ, and grow into a holy and beautiful life. We must deeply examine our thoughts and actions to see whether there is still anything that does not meet God’s standard of righteousness. The life of the saints is different from the life of the world. The world’s life moves from birth toward death—born from the mother’s womb, beginning this earthly life, and eventually ending in physical death. But the life of the saints moves from death into life.
Therefore, do not be afraid of the training and discipline you must go through in this life. Faith grows through training, and through it we learn to live out true value. We are called to die with the Lord, be buried with Him, and live and be raised with Him. If a Christian is unwilling to deny self, unwilling to go through training, and does not crucify sinful nature with Christ, then he is like a grain of wheat that falls into the ground but remains just one grain. His life stays where it is, still centered on self, making himself his own master, unwilling to let go of the old self. In that condition, he cannot live out new life or enter into the true abundance God desires to give.
But if one obeys and follows the leading of the Lord Jesus, lays down self, deals with sin, puts to death the old self, abandons love for the world, and lets go of worldly values, then life can experience true freedom. Such a life becomes genuine, alive, and powerful, able to bear much righteous fruit. Through this transformed life, one can shine for the Lord on earth, glorify His name, bear witness for Him, and influence many others so that they too may benefit. This is why Scripture says: if it dies, it bears many seeds.
Those who belong to the Lord must rely on Him at all times. With the Lord’s presence comes strength; with strength comes the ability to endure storms and overcome every difficulty. We bravely carry our own cross and walk the path of obedience to God. Even if there are moments of weakness, because we are on the right path and rely on the help of the Holy Spirit, our lives continue to be renewed in Christ, living out a new way of life. For those who become new creations in the Lord will have joy and abundant grace following them, forever.
Scripture
John
Chapter 12 Verses 24–25
“Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone:
but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall lose it;
and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
Romans
Chapter 6 Verses 3–9
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ
were baptized into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death:
that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father,
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death,
we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him,
that the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve sin.
For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Now if we be dead with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him.”
Galatians
Chapter 2 Verse 20
“I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
