The foundations of
the Christian faith are rooted in honesty, integrity and truth, which are found
only in Jesus Christ. Believing on Jesus includes developing a character
that glorifies Jesus Christ in us ~ for our body is now the temple of the Holy
Spirit and He lives inside of us (1 Corinthians 3:16). When He is Lord of us,
then there is no way that we are going to live dishonest lives that lack
conviction of what is right and what is wrong. God has given us a conscience to
know the difference! If we are living “questionable” lives, then there has to be
a major rethink on what is required of us now that we have received the
Wonderful Holy Spirit of God into our lives. He will always cause us to
honour, respect and obey the purposes of God for us. He gives us a conscience
and conviction of what is right and what is wrong for
us.
The only authority
we have to bring change is within our own lives. We cannot force our beliefs or
life-styles on to others. But we can set the example. We can show them a better
way.
·
We can demonstrate
by the way we live that Jesus Christ is the Answer!
Make no mistake
about it: the world is not reading the Bible ~ they are reading the Christian!
·
What do they
see?
·
Is there a
difference ~ a difference that would make them to want to know more of the life
you and I live?
