Christianity vs. Survival

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Peter 2:24 KJV) Christians these days I believe struggle in this dilemma, for I see myself and many other companions in the faith trapped in this struggle... same thing with the spirit vs. the flesh... oh how indeed such struggle we face, especially when we desire to fulfil God's Will or even to fulfil the Great Commission, seeking the lost, leading them to know Christ Jesus... many indeed seek to fill their physical needs more than the spiritual needs. Many seek what physical benefits they get more than the spiritual things... Jesus Christ have always been reiterating and declaring that spiritual things are more valuable than that of earthly things... yet many and even Christians fail to look towards heavenly things... and so I ask, "why?" Survival? to extend our existence in this world? most probably... why else do we work? is it not for a living? to live! ..... of course, I do not say work is evil or we should no longer work.... But for some reason, esp. for Christians, will work or survival be our main theme in life? our main goal? or have we forgotten we Christians were paid for a price.... a price which is the Blood of Christ.... a price that cost the Life of Jesus Christ! Though He lives eternally, it shouldn't be our reason to forget the price it took to redeem us from the clutches of the enemy, the Devil. We were once dead Christians, and now we live because of Christ! But now that we live, doth we not live for Him? for Christ? Just as the Apostle Paul, saying "To live is Christ, to die is gain!" Will we not do the same? These questions are such a challenge and a great reminder to all, even to myself. For what indeed profits if we gain the Whole World, yet lose our own soul? and what profits our salvation, if our fellow love ones are lost.... May we not forget, may we not forget....
