Topic: The Danger of Casual Christianity
Text: Leviticus 10:1–3; Hebrews 12:28–29
Leviticus 10:1–3; And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. 2. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. 3. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
Hebrews 12:28–29; Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 2. For our God is a consuming fire.
INTRODUCTION
Our topic today deals with the irreverent behavior of some Christians today towards their walk with God. Casual Christianity refers to Christianity that is void of clear devotion to God and active separation from anything that defiles (2 Corinthians 6:17). Inasmuch as the call to come into Christ first requires repentance from sin, many have taken back their sinful disposition after they have dropped it because they think God doesn't care (Acts 2:38). This was the mistake of the sons of Aaron, they thought God doesn't mind being careless (Lev 10:1).
MESSAGE PROPER
The major mistake casual Christianity makes is the assumption of what grace implies. Casual Christianity assumes that grace means an unusually high disposition of God to accommodate errors. It is not. In fact grace is the opposite! (Romans 6:1).
Grace is the supply of God's power that enables a believer to turn from sin and maintain that resolution of repentance. It is God's antidote to sin (Romans 5:20). This means that the Holy Ghost brings into our hearts the divine energy that condemns that wicked technology of sin that turns a man backwards from his resolve to live right (Romans 8:3).
The old testament church did not have that because they didn't have the Holy Ghost (Romans 7:21-23). If God therefore gave us an antidote to sin, his standard for judging our lives will be higher than that of the old testament church (Heb 12:28-29).
Things/Truths to Know/Note:
1. God knows the capacity of sin to corrupt, and the end result in the eternal stage, and that is why he went as far as tasting death for us through Jesus Christ. Casual Christianity is a great neglect of this truth (Hebrews 2:3).
2. When we turn our hearts back to the cross and genuinely repent, the justice system of God warrants that the old man of the flesh be put to death. The Holy Ghost does this and you experience a liberty to serve God with your spirit (Romans 8:2).
3. When a clean child plays with a child covered in dirt, the dirty child doesn't get clean, rather the clean child gets dirty. It is a dangerous thing to associate with casual Christians, because surely the good manners will end up getting corrupted, and not the other way round (1 Corinthians 15:33).
CONCLUSION
Do not be deceived by the long-suffering of God towards that who despise so great a salvation. Do not join them either, they may be on their last rope. Be instead an agent of restoration to get them back on the path of uprightness, correcting them with meekness and self consideration else you also get tempted (Galatians 6:1).
Assignment
Study Romans 5 and 6 thoroughly and make more searches on the message of the cross in order to be grounded.
