don't ask me to live like it

Question: Once you have come to the place in your life where you’ve confessed your sins and self-centeredness to Jesus, asked Him to change you through repentance, and then claim His name as a “Christian” … what’s next ?
Answer: A gratitude of love that seeks obedience, that’s what !

I wonder what God thinks when people say they love Him and claim the name “Christian” but are living in disobedience by …
* not reflecting the goodness and forgiveness of Jesus.
* rarely going to church.
* rarely praying.
* never telling someone else about the eternal security found in Christ’s love and grace.

I just love it when people say one thing to me and then do nothing to support their proclamation ? Don’t you ?
Now I know how God feels when I disappoint Him.

When you and I are so in love with God that we are obedient to what we claim … people notice … and God is honored.

“… men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ …”
2 Corinthians 9: 13
