Rediscovering Our Righteous Path: Embracing the Christ-Consciousness Within (01/10/'24)

Rediscovering Our Righteous Path: Embracing the Christ-Consciousness Within The inherent nature of humanity, as shaped by the will of life in Christ, is a journey towards righteousness. This path is one we must continually follow in our actions, not just in words, as emphasized in Matthew 23:3. Straying from this path, even momentarily, means losing touch with the conscience of Christ, the original heart bestowed upon us by heaven. Merely hearing good words is insufficient; we must embody our heavenly nature in our actions. The union of God and humans signifies a return to our original, good nature, which we often lose sight of. Living in accordance with the heavenly mind, a gift from above, enables us to become true stewards of creation, nurturing and adapting to the myriad changes of life, much like seeds sprouting and growing. Maintaining Christ's nature as the guide of our bodies is crucial, as it's in our nature to drift towards negative paths. This tendency towards sin shouldn't be a point of contention, but rather an acknowledgment of our intrinsic yet often lost goodness. This loss, a self-inflicted tragedy, highlights the sad reality of human existence. -Pastor Steven G. Lee (January 10, 2024)
