There is a big difference between living fully and just existing. Here’s how I would define the distinctions:
- One is living intentionally and the other living by accident.
- One is living in Christ and the other is living on your own.
- One is empowered by the Spirit of God and the other by yourself.
Jesus understood the difference and gave us the option of following Him in the power of the Spirit to a life of purpose. He demonstrated this life by the way He lived and made it possible to be recorded so we could follow His ways. He declared it to be His purpose and available for all when He declared, “I have come that you might have life to the full.”
So, whose fault is it if you are not experiencing this empowered kind of life? Are you carefully and closely following the lifestyle of Jesus? Do you yield yourself to the Spirit’s empowerment each day, or do you try to orchestrate your own life for the most part? It could mean the difference of living fully and just existing. What do you think?
