What does God require from us so we live this life to abide in His Word and follow Christ as Lord?

Romans 12:2: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

As such:

Matthew 22:37, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

How?

Joshua 1:8: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

What’s more?

Colossians 2:8: “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.”

Therefore:

Hebrews 12:1-2: “Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Is my treasure with God, or is it with the world?

André Gourd began sharing daily messages with his sons in 2019, which grew into daily scripture-based encouragements for all. Prompted by the Lord in 2020, he keeps each message short and to the point—never opinion, always pointing to God’s Word. Each ends with a one-sentence challenge to help readers stay focused on Christ. Find more at Christ at The Helm.
