"Keeping It Real" -too

"I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have Known Him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have Known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have Known Him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the Word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one." (1 John 2:12-14) Can you see a kind of pattern here? First off, God does not change, we do! So, when we are talking about keeping it real, what are we talking about? Well, it's not God, that's for sure! We are the ones that change, from one day to another; sometimes, several times a day; but He never changes. To put it in a little different light, let's just say that our lives here on this earth are less real than the life we have in Christ. Der, what? Okay; for example, everything that you know here on this earth, including your friends and families, everything changes; it gets old; worn out; rotten; dies or is consumed by death or fire; but God does not change, and neither does His Word. The thing which we must come to realize is that the changes which take place in us are not Him changing in us, but Him changing us in Him. Therefore, if anything is not real that has changed in us, it is not of Him, but is rather something that we might have mistaken for Him, which is most likely from the wicked one; meaning that it is not only not real, but it is also not true, because he is the master of deception. However; we that are in the Know, should be able to determine what is real and what is fake; because within us dwells God's Spirit and His Word; which are more real than even the master of deception. Therefore what we must keep real is ourselves...
