How to Get to the Other Side

How to Get to the Other Side

1.     Set the course: Refer to the instruction manual.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17).

2.  Fasten your life jacket: Make sure you have the right supplies.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph 6:13-17).

3.     Put your oars in the water, Launch into the deep: Jesus is with you.

But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit (Jude 20). 

4.  Never lose sight of the final destination. Have faith.

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Phil 3:13-14).

5.  Arrive on the other side.

Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Phil 1:6).
