We live life on earth, as citizens of Heaven on an assignment here on Earth. Our assignment is to bring Heaven on Earth through Jesus Christ, our redeemer. In this process, we get transformed into His image. We know that God created us in His image and His likeness. This is a process of transformation.
We progress in our assignment as we progress into being transformed into His image. Hence, they cover a wide range of canvas as the journey is resplendent and colourful in its variety. You will enjoy reading these, not necessarily agreeing to them – that is not a prerequisite to enjoy it.
What goal does a Christian have?
Many Christians may want:
a successful career?
to save much money?
to have a happy life?
a peaceful life?
your own home?
Some of you may wonder if a person becomes a good Christian by doing these things?
viz. Reading the Bible daily,
Going to church on Sundays,
Going for confessions regularly,
Having the Holy Communion weekly?
Is Jesus Christ your God, your Saviour?
If you are like some Christians, you may not have a confident answer.
But if anyone asks you, do you believe in Jesus Christ?
You may say yes.
But when asked if that makes a difference in the way you live your daily life,
you may not have an emphatic answer.
There are some Christians who are like you.
They believe in Jesus Christ. They know He is God.
They go to church on Sundays.
Most often it’s a routine.
They do not have any relationship with Jesus Christ.
On enquiring further, we find that Jesus Christ is not their God in reality. Often, some Christians do not realise that the question (question: Is Jesus Christ your God?) itself is significant.
Here are a few crumbs of truth to help you understand and take a strong stand on Jesus Christ. The following will help you start the journey to develop a strong relationship with Jesus Christ.

When we receive love and gifts from our parents, our delight is great. The same way God’s gifts are for our joy and fulfilment. So we desire blessings from God. Yet many do not have a clue about what to do about this.
When reading, we should not consider for a moment that we can manipulate God into receiving blessings. He sees our heart! Yet as a sincere person who loves God, we can earnestly work on ourselves to receive blessings from God.
We need to follow the written instructions of God given in the Bible. Only this can lead us to receive blessings. Here we have a few related topics on blessings. This will improve your understanding of blessings. Thus, you would be able to reach your destination more efficiently.
a.What are blessings?
b.What are the features of a blessed land?
c.How can we receive blessings from God?
