A Christian’s life is
distinguished from a non-Christian’s life in that the first have Christ at the
centre of their life. A Christ-centred life is the objective of a Christian’s
life in order to be blessed by God, to be in Communion with the Creator. This
relationship evidently shows who is blessed and who cursed. In Jeremiah’s Book
(17:5-8) we read what God has claimed about who is cursed and who is blessed:
“Cursed is the man
who trusts in man
And makes flesh his
strength,
Whose heart departs
from the Lord.
For he shall be like
a shrub in the desert,
And shall not see
when good comes,
But shall inhabit the
parched places in the wilderness,
In a salt land which
is not inhabited.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the
Lord.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the
waters,
Which spreads out its
roots by the river,
And will not fear
when heat comes;
But its leaf will be
green,
And will not be
anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from
yielding fruit.
