On Sunday, I had the opportunity to preach at my home church. What a privilege it was and I was blessed by the experience. One of the things I asked the congregation is something that I would like to ask you. What are you doing with your life?
In the anchor points of your life - your birth date and your death date, will it be known that you believed in the Lord? Does your life show any appreciation, gratitude and love for the Lord Jesus? These are things that I asked that should be pondered by us all.
And if we answer "yes" to these questions, what is the sign? We need to show some sign that we believe what we say that we believe.
If we say that we believe our God is holy and righteous - then our actions ought to reflect that belief. Meaning, if He is holy and righteous, then as His followers, we too need to be holy and righteous to the degree that we can on this side of Heaven. That means that we need to get into the Word and learn about Who we say we believe. We need to be students of the Bible and lovers of mankind. We can't love the Lord and not do right by others. Those two things don't agree.
Begin thinking about what your life has been composed of so far - your dash between the dates, so to speak. Does your life glorify God? If you can honestly answer "yes" - then great. Keep up the good work. But if you can't honestly say "yes", then start today by giving your life to Christ. If you have any questions about the free gift of salvation, feel free to contact me here.
