As saints in the body of Christ we have the privilege of living a life that is meaningful and rewarding because of our ability to live out the life that we were created for. We have made the hardest decision of our lives and passed the test when we decided to accept the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now we know that Satan can never stop us from entering into the gates of heaven and having an eternity of peace and joy serving the Father!!! Satan on the other hand can hinder us from living out our purpose which is to be a witness in the earth of God’s beautiful love and grace through the Redemptive act laid on the cross from His son Jesus Christ and how we now bare the Light of Christ in our lives through the holy spirit. He does this by placing things in your life that brings fear and we get so over whelmed that we stop living in our purpose and we become paralyzed by the fear. If we continue to trust in God our eyes should only focus on Christ !!! All other things will be taken care of when you trust in Him and His Word. Whatever fear you are experiencing today, cast it away and lay it up on the cross, fix your eyes back on our Savior Jesus Christ and Live!!!!!!
Hebrews 2
Warning to Pay Attention
1We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 4God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Jesus Made Like His Brothers
5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But there is a place where someone has testified: "What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? 7You made him a little[a] lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor 8 and put everything under his feet." [b]
In putting everything under him, God left nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him. 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers. 12He says, "I will declare your name to my brothers; in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises."[c] 13And again, "I will put my trust in him."[d] And again he says, "Here am I, and the children God has given me."[e]
14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. 17For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for[f]the sins of the people. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
