FAITH

Your faith will determine how you live.  If you believe in Allah, him you serve in the measure you believe what the Koran says.  In the measure you believe in Jesus and what the Bible says, you will receive what God has for you. 

There is much confusion about who God is and how we are to live.  Are we to be the hand of vengeance, destruction and murder to serve him?  Is that what God has for us?  A key point in answer to that question, is to understand that the law given in the old testament was to define right and wrong.  Jesus took the consequences for our wrong doing as well as the punishment ordered under the old testament law (much later used in the Koran).  Since Jesus' death we are no longer called to execute judgment of the old testament law - God succeeded in establishing right and wrong and paid the price for our not doing it through the death of Jesus.  This is very important, Jesus changed the very nature of our position with God. 

So how are we to live:  we are commanded to do our very best to do right and to love God and love others and ourselves - this is called grace.  The Holy Spirit called the Spirit of Jesus, is grace.  In Jesus we have space to move and live as we try to serve God through love. 

The manifestation of understanding what the Bible says and what Jesus did is provision from God: health, life, peace, kindness, love, mercy and forgiveness for others and you.  To receive those things you must believe, act in faith, take and claim what God has given you - in love. 

There is a whole other life available to you.  The book Defeat Your Saboteurs was written to teach you how to get it.  It explains your situation in this world, who the unseen players are, who God is, his character and how to live and receive what he has for you while living in the world.  God has made a way for you, the question is do you want him and what he has for you?
