🎥 Video  

Join me on my morning walk as we rise and shine together by walking through the Bible daily and learn a practical applicable coaching nugget from the ultimate life coach - our creator (whatever that means to you). No judgement zone here, all are welcome, we are all on a spiritual journey because we are after all spiritual beings having a human experience.

 

📝 Reflection 

1 Corinthians 15: 17

… then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. 

22: Just as everyone who dies belongs to Adam, everyone who belongs to Christ will be given new life. 

25-26: For Christ Must reign until he humbles all his enemies beneath his feet. And the last enemy to be destroyed is death.

34: Think carefully about what is right and stop sinning….

43: Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in the weakness, but they will be raised in strength. They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies. 

51: But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed.

56: For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. 

 

I pulled these scriptures out because I see in them a trail of clues 🕵️‍♀️ of how to add more life to our lives here and now, not just in the next life.  If we really have faith and have accepted God’s grace and love then there should be no guilt, right? If you have guilt then you don’t truly have an active faith. Love does not keep a record of wrongs right? If God is Love, then we should have no guilt. When we sin, we repair and we move on without guilt. We will sin because we are human, but with faith we understand that God loves us anyway. 

Love and our conscience’s will convict us and if we obey our conscience we will humble ourselves and repair and then be done. At least in theory. When you have a clear conscience and are free of guilt don’t you feel more alive? I know I do. When we hold onto guilt, un-forgiveness, shame and fear this is evidence that we are living according to the law. This is where our faith lies, in our own performance and ‘goodness’ according to the law. The law gives sin its power. All of these feelings are heavy and make us feel heavy, burdened and dead inside. These drain our life force. 

Paul also makes reference to our spiritual bodies. We have a spiritual body here and now, not just in heaven or the second coming. Most of us are walking around with severely malnourished, neglected and ignored spiritual bodies. When you feed your spiritual body by receiving the message of grace, live with faith, hope and love you will be transformed. You become the living word. You will have new life, more aliveness here and now.  Don’t just take my word for it, give it a try for yourself. 

He created you and I in his image. He didn’t create creatures that he loathes, barely tolerates and that are just a constant disappointment. This doesn’t even make sense. We do this - we create a God in our image and we make him perform and conform to our ideas. This is the legal approach, we give sin power because we won’t humble ourselves. We are the walking dead, spiritually speaking. Come back to life, come back to love. It is really that simple.
