Being a follower or disciple of the Lord Jesus has its differences. While one only seeks his favor and support, the other prioritizes following in his footsteps and puts his total commitment into building an intimate relationship with the Almighty. In the face of such distinctions,\u00a0those\u00a0born of the flesh separate themselves from those born of the Spirit, that is, the chosen ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Do You Need to Know:<\/span><\/h4>\n

Being chosen by God, without a doubt, has its privileges, such as His peace, His direction, and, above all,\u00a0Eternal Life. Eternal and non-negotiable goods superior to any riches or recognition this world can offer. Although many consider them unreachable, conquering them requires nothing more than planting. See what the Word says about this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor he who sows to his flesh will from his\u00a0flesh reap corruption;\u00a0<\/em>But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap Eternal Life.\u201d\u00a0(Galatians\u00a06.8)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe sowing principle\u00a0is used to show\u00a0how the Eternal God gives back to those who walk in the Spirit and those who walk in the flesh. This principle serves as a warning to show that man\u00a0has the freedom to\u00a0choose what he sows, but he must not forget that his harvest will correspond to what he sows. It is impossible for someone to plant corruption and lies and reap eternal life, just as it is impossible for a man to sow faith and fidelity and reap condemnation\u201d,\u00a0explains Bishop Edir Macedo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/span><\/h4>\n

A faith based on the desire for\u00a0one’s\u00a0desires becomes fragile and passive in the face of difficulties, capable of putting not only\u00a0one’s\u00a0life but also\u00a0one’s\u00a0Salvation at risk. Hence\u00a0the importance of having the seal of the Spirit of the Living God within oneself. If you don’t\u00a0have Him yet,\u00a0decide to\u00a0give yourself to Him body, soul, and spirit. Plant a relationship of trust and obedience with God today and receive the guarantee of\u00a0a full\u00a0and eternal life through his Spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
