Saving a Life – Luke 9:24
Would you like to make the most of your life?
“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it.” Luke 9:24 CSB
How can we save our life? I don’t know first hand, but I’m pretty sure everyone who ever lived has transitioned out of this life. Some believe the story just ends. The Bible teaches that we have a life that lasts forever.

Jesus is the Good Part

Recently, I was in prayer with God. As I was praying and worshiping, I thanked Jesus for being the good part of everything I do — how I love, how I serve, and how I take care of my family and friends.
The idea of Jesus as the good part of life stuck with me for a few days.
Denying Ourselves Part 2 – Luke 9:23
What does it mean to “take up our cross?”
And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23 ESV
Being crucified on a cross was a horrible way to die. Actually, it was more of a torture that resulted in death. The Romans had made it into a science. It was hours of excruciating pain and suffocation that only eventually ended in death.

Denying Ourselves – Luke 9:23
How often do you deny yourself of something?
And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” Luke 9:23 NASB95
What does it mean to deny ourselves?
Our online community, Follower of One got its name from a conversation I had with some friends. The conversation was about leadership and someone said a leader was someone who “had followers.” I said I never followed anyone.

Why Did Jesus Warn the Disciples? – Luke 9:21-22
Should we be telling others about Jesus?
But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone, saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and raised up on the third day.” Luke 9:21-22
Why did Jesus tell them to keep the secret of his true identity? I think it was because the time was not right.

Who Is Jesus? – Luke 9:18-20
Almost everyone who knows about Jesus has an opinion. Do you live your life according to your opinion of Jesus?
And it happened while he was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?” They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again.” And He said, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.” Luke 9:18-20 NASB
I ask the same first question of you.

Vision Given by God Part 5 – Habakkuk 2:4
How do we join in God’s vision for our world?
“Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:4 NASB95
Would you like to see the best you can imagine come to pass? I believe what God is doing will end up being the best I can imagine. And I know in Romans 8:28 that God causes all things to work together for good to those who are called according to his purpose.

Inheriting the Kingdom with Jesus
This post was written by Tacoi Bell of The Anointed Editorial. To connect with Tacoi, see the information in the bio at the end of this post.
Romans 8 deals with the concept of sonship and orphanhood. It talks about believers giving way to the Spirit in their everyday lives, elevating them to the status of son (in this context, sonship includes both men and women) of God and inheriting the kingdom of heaven just as Jesus did.

Vision Given by God Part 4 – Habakkuk 2:3
Can you be certain about the future?
“For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the end and will not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, since it will certainly come and not be late.” Habakkuk 2:3 CSB
Do you have trouble communicating the vision of things as you see them? When God gives us a vision it will come to pass. It has a time.
