what is the difference between two christians? one is faithful, she does every word, every teachings of Christ in any moment of her life and yet her life on this planet it seems not very well, a lot of problems, family problems, financially problems etc and she remain faithful to the Church. the other one is kind of Christian which is not that faithful and yet he has a good living, much better than the other one.. what do you think?
 
We could all become like Job's friends and give many answers. But only the Lord could answer this.
 
Don't give an opinion. I know strong, faithful Christians who are not bogged down with problems - and some "kind of" Christians who do.
 
the ONLY thing to do is to seek God with your WHOLE HEART, SOUL, MIND and all of your being, no matter what, even unto death ,

and do what He says. "Chose" to serve HIM by faith in Jesus. and keep serving God all of your life. with everything you are and everything you have or ever hope to be.

do not serve the enemy.

Click to expand...

a little backround might help. from what i've learned, the hebrews did not ask god why, nor did he tell them why. he told them what to do, when to do it, and who was supposed to do it - but not why.(except when he chose to tell them). (like "be holy, because I AM holy")

same in the NT. i don't remember the disciples hardly ever, if ever, asking jesus "why?" ... or him telling them why (maybe sometimes though).

in western society, a lot of people WON'T OBEY --- they won't do what GOD tells them to do, unless they ask "why?" first -- and then / as if/ they determine if it's a good enough reason (to obey god).

i.e. 'they' want to chose whether or not to obey god.

i.e. jesus is NOT their LORD . (if he was LORD, they would do what he says right away, no questions asked)

westerners, and worldliings, don't like that most of the time, so they don't obey. and they have very few good examples. (corrie ten boom, keith green, charles chiniquoy, watchman nee, perhaps e.w.bullinger(seems like accurate teacher, but don't know his life) )
 
obedience.. right? God wanted us to have a great life , a prosperous and abundant life if we obey Him with all we are. is that right?

Because Jesus obeyed the Father perfectly, he satisfied the requirements necessary to insure that we would not have to. He gave us thorough his sacrifice His Righteousness. He even said that He came so that we could have an abundant life.

We now do those things that please God because we love Him, but not to gain a good life.
 
Scripture has spoken of this type of person as you said kinda faithful (meaning hot and cold ) and they serve (both GOD and mammon) describes most of us including myself at 1 point or another in my life. But now that I know better my actions are reflective of that in which GOD the Father seeks. Spiritual worship and truth! I pray they can find their way as well.
 
you guys are all in the middle age, you live much longer than I. one thing i am sure that no one on earth can predict what God's next move, He works in the ways we cannot see,He made/makes all things work together (bad or good in the eyes of man) for those who is in Him, for those who loved Him, for those who obey Him. God didn't promise to t take off or take away our problems but He promise that when we are on our way to conquer our fight/struggles/victory He will be with us, He will not forsake us, he will never leave us, He's going to be with us,. If we are having a good or bad life now a days it doesn't matter just follow God in the name of Jesus Christ. If you think you have a good life then be a blessing to other and people will see how great the Lord you serve and if you have a bad status in life don't give up, do something, aim high, commit to the Lord all your plans and you will succeed. remember that man has his/her part to do in this world like the saying said " do your best and God will take the rest" .. remain faithful to the Lord whatever happens.
