Immutable Beliefs Upholding My Being
This Current Life of Mine
Created by the Supreme Almighty for His pleasure, I bear His image with body, soul, and spirit --- fashioned through His omnipotent omniscience by His unconditional love. Indeed, I am His wondrous handiwork. Yet, sin gripped me, condemning me toward separation from Him. Then in His sovereign calendar, He led me to a personal relationship with Him, granting me eternal life, by virtue of His bestowed faith when I professed my trust in the Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Born again spiritually according to the Scriptures, I’m granted with a divine nature, assured of redemption-security. With His sublime calling, I am moved to live for Him, loving Him while ministering for His honour.
With God as the reason of my being
Existence of mine has blessed meaning
Propelled toward Christlikeness, fulfilling
By His generous grace, well-abounding.
Today in the Lord’s triumphant keeping
A child of His am I always praising
Grateful midst reaching-out, loving, caring
Prayerfully, His perfect will, doing.
Thus, by the Holy Spirit’s constraining
I keep on, for heavenly goal, pressing
As faithful steward, fruitfully working
His majestic name, with bliss, exalting.
My Next Life with Fellow Believers in Christ
As a pardoned sinner through the blood of the Lamb shed on the cross of Calvary, I see myself and fellow believers with glorified bodies. My grateful heart magnifies the Messiah Who resurrected, prevailing over death’s sting, defying grave’s victory by His conquering might. Together with the saints that experienced regeneration, justification, propitiation, adoption, sanctification, and transformation, I am verily joyous while worshipping GOD, and fellowshipping with brethren forever and ever in the New Heaven and Earth.
Ransomed by God through His love’s sufficing
We are offered freedom, sin-acquitting
Toward precious grand life everlasting
While peacefulness forever savouring.
Upon streets of gold constantly treading
No more flesh, world, and the devil tempting
Never to deal with miseries’ trying
Only along wisdom and truth, trekking.
Triumphantly the Master adoring
His Excellency humbly affirming
Nigh to Him, His deity, asserting
While in His pure godliness, abiding.
The Fulfillment of My Existence Today toward Eternity
Continually clinging to my forever* Saviour while cleaving to His promises, here is my prayer and supplication to the Lord as His child, crucified** for HIM --- to be continually functional both for the here and now: Dear God, please uphold me to be steadfastly grateful to You, praising You for Your miraculous salvation. Cognizant of the signs of the time, I await for the glorious rapture of the saints while pressing toward the prize of the high calling of Christ***. Admonished to optimize last-days’ opportunities by the enabling of the Holy Spirit, keep me abounding in Your work, basking in the:
blessedness of Bible study
burden of Gospel sharing
bravery for soulwinning
bounty of stewardship
business of discipleship
benefits of ministerial involvement
beauty of worship ... Amen!
*Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
**Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
*** Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
