What Does This Graph Mean     The Graph drawn above is a somewhat simplified understanding of what takes place between you and God as Jesus enters your life and conscientiousness. The first position is your condition before your conversion to Christianity (bottom left) your lost condition. Then by receiving Jesus as your personal Saviour you become positionally sanctified before God. This is the result of God the Father looking upon you through the shed blood of Jesus. (Read those verses listed in the graph.)     The diagonal line would be equal to the desired growth a Christian would experience if there were no interference from the devil. However we all know that this is the worst time a Christian will experience because the devil does not care to have you exhibiting Christian Growth in the world. The jagged line is the representative line depicting closer to actual (real time) fellowship. The desire is to be more like Jesus every day. As we grow older and time gets shorter, we tend to take our future more seriously. Therefore the growth tends to improve in the latter days.     But waiting on those latter days will be injurious to your Spiritual well being. There are just too many that have their lives cut short before the latter days and being one of that group robs you of the pleasure and Joy of the closeness of Jesus in your daily lives. It is a constant struggle to resist the devil and follow after Jesus, but the results are fantastic. Remember the Scripture in Matt 11:28-30 the yoke is easy because Jesus will help with that too. So take that future look seriously right now. Don't wait!     May you walk in the Spirit constantly; and consistently be found giving glory and praise to your Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Blessed Assurance Jesus Is Mine
