There are a lot of odd things about what Jesus set up here on earth for His Church to start. A lot of odd Christian things. Want to look at them here with me?
Did Jesus not love you enough?
What kind of God comes to earth to die? Why did He do that!? He died for you! (John 3:16) Is that not enough love for you to accept Him?
Being unselfish, more thoughtful and gracious to others
What do you produce with your life? Are you still growing? Still learning?
Is your life fruit – agape love?
What on earth are you doing with your eternal soul? Producing anything lasting?
I have stumbled like a drunk
Are you “pursuing spiritual perfection”? Or: Are you deep in the miry clay, still, lost in your sinfulness? Want to get out? Turn. Get yourself to Jesus through sincere and truthful prayer. Christians do not have to sin. You once turned – to it. And so it is a choice also to turn from it, from what has ensnared you – and turn to Jesus in repentance. It’s a choice: be faithful once again, or stumble like a drunk, eat vomit like a dog, wallow like a pig.
Think about it. Have you strayed from the truth?
Much of …so-called “knowledge” that the world throws at us is not of God, it is not true, and if we take that and go with it, many… “by doing so have erred (missed the mark) and strayed from the faith” (1 Timothy 6:20-21). Where are you at?
Being pleasing
Getting born again established my identity. I am a child of God now. Rejecting sin is a part of my identity. How ’bout you?
