In the entry I want to try to show where  we live on a daily basis as a Christian. One who has put their faith and trust in Christ for salvation.

In the 13th chapter of the book of Genesis in the bible we find a very intresting account of Abraham, who upon the leading of God has left his home in the wicked city of Ur of the Chaldees.God had told him he would lead him to a land that would belong to him and his descendents forever.Now he has arrived at the leading of God he pitch his tent near a place called Bethel.This name means "The House Of God"..On the other side of this area is a place  called Aia which means "The House of the World".

Now what is intresting here is that God leads Abraham to build an altar to him right in the middle of these two places.All who are saved and in Christ find themselves with their new life in him on one side and the old life of sin, that we came from on the other.

In this same account Abraham did something in time of trouble he should not have done. He went to Egypt  for help. One thing led to another and this man failed God, failed his wife,and even failed the people of Egypt.

When he came back into the land he did what all who are saved must do.He went back to the place of the altar and re-dedicated himself to God. You see the same God that saves and forgives when  we repent of our sins will also lead us in our daily Christian life.

Where do you stand with God? You can be saved today by putting your faith and trust in his Son, JESUS CHRIST. Won't you do that today?  Thank You.
