The Marks We Bear

Galatians 6:17

"From henceforth let no man trouble me:

for I bear in my body the marks

of the Lord Jesus."

        What  Paul is saying here is; "I also suffer" This does not mean that he was suffering due to some sin in his own life. Why? It is an inevitable part of the life of a Christian, because he had the same mortal and corruptible body as unbelievers (Rom. 6:12; 8:11) and 1Cor. 15:53 ,54).

        My friends, Christians today are no different. Some act like they are smarter than God, and can defeat any thing God throws at them. Just look around, and you can see even those who say they are Believers are the same ones that are trying to take, and some  has already been taken out of the public eye. They are putting God, and The gospel Of Jesus Christ away like it never happened! You know, I would like to see some of their  Bibles, that is if they carry one? I would probably see a thin Bible; because they would have torn out the pages they did not like! 

        We know that the Word of God makes it clear, that upon receiving Christ, the physical body of the believer does not become exempt from mortality or corruptibility. We also know that suffering may also come as a result of persecution from the world because the Christian does not conform to this world. However; we know that Christ as overcome and will return to take rule. The fight is not ours. The Bible reads, " Vengeance is Mine," saith the Lord.

        Amen!!
