Good morning! How are we faithing? Those who are saved try to improve and try not to sin. Those on the outside see Christians as hypocrites because they indeed sin. Christians try to walk the walk they see in the Word. Non Christians walk the walk by anything but the Word. So who is better? I don't think better is the question even though I hear that all the time. "Christians think they are better than me" is not unusual to hear and they are some I'm sure who think that but lets be serious. The truth is that Christians are declared not guilty but they are not perfect. By Jesus bearing all sin on the cross, those who believe and accept the free gift of grace are redeemed. My stature in church, my deeds for and in the church are but filthy rags compared to the sin less life Jesus led. No where in scripture does it say that saved people are better than non saved. Better off yes but we are men and we sin like men and we are not better than other men. Are you getting this? This is why we share Jesus when ever we can because everybody can be declared not guilty through Jesus. I just can't shut up about it. I don't want to see anybody endure hell. I want people to find the peace and joy inside I have found. Wake up people and see beyond ourselves to a grace here and hereafter....
Eph 4:31-32
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
Tit 3:1-7
Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work, to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men. For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior, and his love toward man, appeared, not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Savior; that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Heavenly Father,
Forgive us please when we get uppity. Help us recognize where we've been and help those receive what we have received. We ask for wisdom and your eyes to see the real needs of others. Lord we love and honor you. Put your words on our tongue and let us not cause harm because of our humanness. In Jesus name, amen
