IN CHRIST WE MOVE

What does it really mean to move? To make a move is to experience change. Moving is therefore directly proportional to change. To move could also mean progress. However, it is possible to be moving without making progress because if you are moving in the wrong direction, you cannot be said to be making progress. If moving means change or progress then, 2Cor 5:17 applies by saying;

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”

Everyone who has and will ever me Christ experiences a change. For instance, the man at the pool of Bathesda had been stagnant for about thirty-eight years until he met Jesus, then he began to make progress speedily, John 5. Also Apostle Peter was a poor business man who had nothing to show for his efforts and professionalism until he met Christ then his business took a skydive to an extent that he needed partners to handle its expansion, Luke 5.

So many instances of notable changes and progress in and outside scriptures have their root in Christ. It wouldn’t therefore be absurd to conclude that;

“...without me (Christ) ye can do nothing” John 15:5b

Finally, it is obvious from the above scripture that trying to achieve anything without the involvement of Christ is vain. To further affirm this, Psalms 127:1-2 say;

“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep”

It even goes on to say that doing extra hours for extra pay at work doesn’t avail you anything. So it is possible to building and labouring without results until Christ steps in. You will therefore agree with me that, no Christ, no move/progress. It is that simple.
