Break Free

Brothers and sisters, break free from whatever ruts you have settled into! Whoever does not want to be set free – well, suit yourself, but don't say you are living in Christ's spirit. You can continue in the old ways and be a part of Christianity, but not of God's kingdom. You can live in Christianity but not in Christ; the gulf between the two is great. You can settle down and feather your nest and think, Now I've got it made – but you'll never win eternity. That's something altogether different. The “city” we have now does not interest us; it cannot last. Instead, we seek the future City, the one God sets before our eyes, and of which Christ is ruler.
