As we chart priorities to seek the kingdom of God first and foremost in the coming year, we try to consider – what does the spiritual life for a child of God look like on a daily basis in the kingdom of God? In the kingdom, we need to be steadfast, unmovable, reliable, and consistent, in four core activities, principally the apostles’ doctrine. We consider what is the doctrine the apostles’ upheld that we are called to earnestly contend for the truth daily as well.

Thinking on the line from the hymn How Great Thou Art, we consider what is the song of my soul? Our souls might be cast down or disquieted to where we feel like we cannot even sing. When we look at creation, at the cross, and at Christ’s second coming, there is always a reason to have joy in our soul to make our soul sing in praise and magnify the Lord.

As we meditate on the birth of Jesus during Christmas week, we consider the reasons why Jesus actually came into this world. Christ came to save sinners, to save his people from their sins, to give life and light to his people, to fulfill the Father’s will, and he promised he would lose nothing of all his people given unto him by the Father.

In creation, we see that God rested on the seventh day, the Sabbath day, because his intended work in creation was done. Likewise, in the salvation of sinners, Jesus Christ assumed a posture of rest, he sat down on the right hand of God, because his intended work in saving his people from their sins was perfectly finished and accomplished.

Using the example of Jacob and Esau at their birth, we study the prophecy and lesson of two manner of people in this world – the elect that are guided by the Holy Spirit and then the non-elect that are only guided by self-interest. Surprisingly, we are told the elect are actually stronger than the non-elect and that the non-elect shall serve the elect. We look at a few applications of those two perspectives.

Belief and baptism is one of the most powerful experiences for a child of God in their walk of discipleship. Belief is not when we are born again, but how we lay hold on eternal life we already have in Christ. We study the various descriptions of this event in scripture – salvation from ignorance and shame, sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, justified by faith, and receiving the answer of a good conscience before God.

We see consistently in Genesis 1 that all of creation was made fully mature, they bring forth after their own kind, and the evening and the morning were each six 24 hour days. The pinnacle of creation was man, made in the image of God. That is why man is higher and human life is valued above the animals because every person is made in the image of God with innate value from its Creator.

It’s a very common struggle for a child of God to question, “Am I really saved?” We study from 1st John the evidences that one is already born again, already a child of God. Do you believe in Christ? Do you love God, love the brethren, and sacrifice for others? Do you desire to obey God’s commandments and do righteous works? Do you feel the movement of the Holy Spirit in your heart? If you can say “yes” to these questions, then take comfort and assure your heart that there is nothing that can separate you from God’s love!
