Are conscious of your stand in Christ?

“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12

re you conscious of your stand in the Lord? It is a question that one should always pose to Himself if He wants to know if He is in good stand with the Lord. Over time, when you surrendered your soul to Jesus and decided to please Him, It is expedient to check if that first love you have in Him is getting stronger or compromised.

There are so many factors that may make you backslide away from God’s grace if you are not spiritually sensitive to the changes in your spiritual life.  Some of these factors includes; lust of the world, obsession of money, lack of money, evil company etc. To backslide is not limited to you committing sins; it encompasses all unfaithfulness to the things of God. If you were a person that loves reading the Bible and you notice that you don’t have time to read and study the word like before, you have backslidden. It may be that you don’t pray or fast like before again.

Always examine your stand in the Lord and check your stand in Him. Instead of you to fall from the grace, try to be full of His grace than when you first knew Him. It is the joy of the Lord to see that you grow in the full stature of Christ Jesus.

Conclusion:   Be sensitive to the changes in your love for the things of God, if you notice a negative change in your spiritual life, try to put your life back to the spiritual figure of Christ Jesus.
