Galatians 2:20 says, I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
How is your reflection?
You say what does that mean?
Well let me tell you this. You profess to be a Christian. You by your own mouth profess to be a child of God. And you tell everyone that you are following Jesus.
Matthew 5:16 says, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
So having read that and having professed that you are a Christian did you know that everyone around you, everyone you live with, everyone you work with and for that matter everyone in this world has a right to expect each one of us to be different.
Not perfect, but different!
And not just that you are different but that you are spiritually different because of the words from your own mouth that you are a Christian, you are a follower of Jesus.
So yes the world has the right to judge our fruits. And yes the word say that you will know them by their fruit. But even further they also have the right to be disappointed in us when we are not different from this world.
Even the people that don't believe have the right to be disappointed. Why because we are held to a different standard. So yes, even the heathens expect you to hold to the words we say we obey.
So if the people of God would make it a habit of listening, trusting and obeying God there is so much more that would happen.
What?
The churches would actually be full, you would have to search for a seat every time the doors were open because they would see that there is something different and they would want WHO we have and WHAT we have because the lost of this world are searching for the ONE that makes us different.
Now it is not about us but rather it is about Jesus because when we are truly following Jesus, that is what will cause them to want to come and see.
