1 Thessalonians 3:8 - Walking with Jesus.TRANSLATIONS 1 Thessalonians 3:8 (NKJV) For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 3:8 (NIV) For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 3:8 (ESV) For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord. COMMENTARY PEARL Intimacy Is the Way to True Fulfillment Finding fulfillment in Jesus is not about following a set of rules. At its core, the gospel message is not "Don't sin." No, the message of the cross is more so an invitation to "Come, walk with God." The centrality of the gospel is that, through the finished work of Christ, our sins are forgiven. We are new creations, and we can step into a relationship with God Almighty. As you live closely with Jesus, you discover that you can trust God. You can look back on your life and see times He carried you, times He held you close, times He steered you clear of danger, and times He pulled you through. Intimacy with God is the way to true fulfillment and a firm foundation that sustains you no matter what. How can you prioritize walking closely with God today? Consider spending a few minutes in prayer or reading a portion of Scripture. Choose something and draw near to God, trusting that joy and satisfaction await you. Dear Jesus, You fulfilled the law perfectly so I can be a new creation. When I walk with You, I become more like You.
