I.B.S. #34

- "And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith."

As Christians live this life, we have one goal in mind, to reach the gates of heaven, to enter and hear well done, my good and faithful servant. To reach this goal, however, we need to keep in mind that if we arent being His servants here on this earth, then we aren't going to truely feel like we have done well. While theres no doubt in my mind that it is possible to believe in Christ, read the Bible, stay in your house, do nothing about it, die and still go to heaven; I do believe that that would be foolish. If we are reading His word and truely love Him, we will do as He has commanded us to do, which is to go out and be a light, go out and spread His word. Of course that includes your town, your community, your church, your workplace. We need to remember though that if we are not sacrificing our lives for Him, the people around us may not see the example that Christ set for us. If we are supposed to resemble Christ, and we do nothing about our faith, what does that tell others about Christ? I know that this is something that I have failed at doing in my own town of Vero Beach. I would like to say there were specific times where I would slack off and be a bad example of Christ but that seemed to be me all the time. And like I said last I.B.S., I truely feel like I havent been really sacrificing everything to Him daily.

I'm going to draw a steering wheel on my left hand to remind me that I need sit in the passengers seat and let God take complete control of my life.
