Many people claim to be right with
God. It is not uncommon for people to
identify themselves as being a Christian.
There are still churches being built and filled with people who identify
themselves with Christ.
Yet, evil continues to flourish. Things are getting worse, not better. It is not uncommon for all kinds of evil to
be exposed. Morality is scorned by a
large part of society. Theft is common
and on the rise. Daily murders make the
headlines. Divorce is on the rise both
in and outside the Church. Internal
squabbles plague the Church. Society is
in a real mess, in spite of the claims of so many to be Christians.
It’s not what we claim to be that
matters; it’s who we really are that counts.
Our actions speak louder than our words.
If how we live doesn’t match with what we profess, we are not what we
claim to be.
Living in Christ means that we have
turned away from our sinful practices and are now living rightly with God. We no longer act and react like we used
to. We no longer say things we used to
say and in the way we used to say them.
We no longer think like we used to think. We no longer are driven by the passions that
used to drive us. We no longer live for
the things we used to live for.
A true believer in Christ is changed by
Christ to be a reflection of Christ in the world. Prove that you are indeed a child of God by
the way you live.
