In today’s contemporary Christian world, born again Christians are often conflicted between living a simplistic lifestyle and embracing a truly enriching and abundant life. This may include indulging in the finer things of life.
I believe in approaching questions or concerns such as this, the wisdom from God and discernment are imperative and make it easy to navigate unclear areas in life’s journey.
Let us start at the beginning in looking at embracing a luxury lifestyle that is fully Christ-centered and glorifies the Name of The Lord.
The Christ-centered life is one that fully accepts, embraces whole-heartedly and rejoices in all Jesus died to give us. The Bible clearly states that Jesus died to give us life and life more abundantly. This is a fundamental gift of the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary.
Scripture Reference: John 10:10b “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Another word for “more abundantly” is superabundance, which simply means a life overflowing with the fullness of joy, strength for spirit, soul and body.
3 Ways To Live A Luxury Lifestyle With Grace?
Luxury is often used synonymously with indulging in excesses, but I dare say That The Almighty God Himself is the “Principal Protagonist” who very clearly in His Word (The Holy Bible) exemplifies what a Luxury Lifestyle should look like.
Since our mindset as Christians (Christ followers) should be “set” and anchored on the Word of God, let us now explore our God-given life instruction manual, the Bible and discover how to live a grace-filled luxury lifestyle.
We are going to explore Christ-centered luxury lifestyle through the followings lens below because a lifestyle truly enriches our lives and enhances our faith walk.
- Premium Rest and Relaxation: In the fast-paced nature of many of the societies we live in today; stress, exhaustion and busyness are commonplace. The concept of luxury plays a meaningful role. Spa days or spa weekends, enjoying gourmet meals with friends and family, staycations, skin pampering are just some of the ways we can inject the concept of a luxury lifestyle into our lives.
Reconciling a luxury lifestyle with our Christian values should be an easy concept to grasp as the key is to develop a “Stewardship mindset paired with gratitude” The bible communicates to us that Our Abba Father in heaven has given us all things richly to enjoy.
Scripture Reference: 1 Timothy 6:17-19 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.
The above scripture makes us understand that our heart posture towards “things” and “God” is what is evaluated by God and not necessarily the things. We always want to have a heart check and ensure that we are in alignment with God and not drawn away with life’s luxuries.
The concept of a stewardship mindset helps us stay accountable with the resources we have been entrusted with by God which includes our time, finances and talents. This keeps us mindful of avoiding extravagance and at the same time honouring The God that blessed and entrusted us with such by enjoying all things which He has given us to enjoy.
- Dinner Parties: Gourmet and fine foods are not only reserved for restaurants and fine dining. Every so often, you can whip up gourmet meals in your kitchen, lay out a beautiful and luxurious spread and invite loved ones over for a glorious feast.
Decadent desserts, exotic and mouthwatering dishes shared with lots of love and laughter in a healthy atmosphere is sure to enrich not only the body but also the souls.
There is always something so special and wholesome about breaking bread and being reminded about the blessings of fellowship and genuine relationships.
- Their light roast is a single origin hailing from the Nicaraguan Mountains, and is grown without use of pesticides, chemicals, GMOs or mycotoxins. Their coffee is also fair trade certified.
This one has a mild clean test free of bitterness. Think hints of caramel chocolate topped by a light and fruity flavor. It is also gentle on the stomach due to its naturally low levels of acid.
You won’t regret trying out this one if you like the idea of a fresh, organic, premium coffee!
Life Coffee – Dark Roast
A dramatic name this one has, doesn’t it? True to its name, this blend is certainly not one for the faint hearted. It has twice as much caffeine than a normal coffee (or more) and that comes with incredibly strong flavors.
The dark roast beans make for an almost burnt flavor but also dark chocolate according to some palates. But this is exactly why many customers love it.
This roast will shine when brewed with drip machines or French press. If you like your coffee strong, give this one a shot!
Koa Coffee – Medium Roast
Koa have long made a name for themselves in the pre-ground coffee world. They are probably the most widely known producer of the award-winning Kona coffee. It is grown on the Kona coffee belt in Hawaii.
Hailing from one of the best coffee growing regions in the world, it is definitely one of the most intriguing options on our list! Albeit on the expensive side, if you like your coffee smooth and rich with hints of fruit, try this!
Kicking Horse Coffee Smart Ass Blend
Kicking Horse has a srong following of coffee lovers and is one of the most popular pre-grounds on Amazon – and we think this is for good reason. They have 6 different varieties that range from light roasts to dark ones.
This Smart Ass blend is a medium roast and comes with chocolaty flavors together with a fruity aroma.
A particularly good choice when used with a drip machine or cold brew.
New England Coffee Medium Roast
Albeit not super popular, the New England Coffee brand is over 100 years old and is a staple among coffee connoisseurs.
All of that experience truly shows with this Medium Roast they offer. Flavors available include blueberry, french vanilla, donut shop, pumpkin spice and more.
If like many others you enjoy flavored coffee, I would definitely give this one a shot.
It is one of a kind!
Things To Consider When Choosing Your Coffee
Make sure you consider the type of roast you prefer (light to dark), the grind size (based on your brewing method of choice) and of course the flavor profile.
Everyone has different tastes when it comes to coffee, and that’s a good thing.
Hopefully we’ve given you one or two new ideas to try out inside this post. And if so, let us know how your chosen coffee was – we’d love to hear back from you!
