There are some memories that should never be forgotten, one of which is the story of your salvation. I think our Faith hangs on it somehow.
Daily reminding ourselves that our human mind never would have reckoned that the freedom which we now enjoy in Christ was possible.
Daily reminding ourselves how broken, sad, confused, worried and tired we were before we found Christ who gave us peace in abundantly.
Yes, our faith hangs on these memories.
Because there would be days when salvation become visibly "no longer relevant", then we have reasons to say, no. I still can't afford to loose it. My old life wasn't better off.
But there's one more reason why we should never forget our beginning with God.
Worship.
How do you worship God the best way when you have chosen to forget your personal experience of Him?
And By Worship here, it goes beyond the emotions we feel while singing to Him. Fine, it is part of it. We tend to get more intentional and emotional in worship when we have that saved and secured memory of how Christ saved us from our own sins, our past life, our past demons and all.
But...
By worship I mean, living Christ, living "worship".
If you don't have a record of your beginning with God, you would be very vulnerable and shaky in your journey with God. If you have forgotten how you started with God, taking up your cross and following Christ daily would gradually become a problem. Then we'll na be complaining that, "Hey, it looks like I'm no longer feeling the presence of God like before oo". Our relationship with God depreciates.
Daily worship simply means daily reminding ourselves the essence of Christ in our lives, how He saved us, and in turn taking up our cross to follow Him against all odds because we know, that our life would be nothing but empty without Him.
Never forget your beginning. Never forget How you met the Saviour. Never forget How He saved you, the conviction in your spirit when you decided to give your life to Him.
Our Faith hangs on it, one way or the other.
Remember the isrealites, the Lord warned them time and time again to always remember their beginning.
(DEU 5:15)But they chose to forget and what happened? They faced the wrath of Jehovah.
Hm.
Dear Friends,
Remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings, knowing that God was with you. (Hebrew 10:32)
Do not forget, because if you do, you are blind or short-sighted, having forgotten your purification from your former sins. (2peter 1:9)
Live your life in REMEMBRANCE
