A Christian.
A person who lives according
to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Not a perfect preacher man, not the boy that
refuses to play with other boys because they are not Christians, not a girl
that always reads the bible, but someone that actually reads the bible to
understand and to point out how God's love is the Key to a peaceful and successful life. (Joshua 1:8)
Christians are simple
ordinary people with usual challenges in life as every other people. We come
under attack from evil forces through men in form of temptation to cheat,
fight, gossip, fornicate, lie, party and drink to stupor, argue with pride and
anger and worst of all, condemn those we see as "non Christians or lost
ones".
This evil spirit cannot be
overcome with the power of man but with the power of the comforter, the Holy
Spirit who God has sent to be with us in times of trials (John 15:26) The
spirit bears witness of Jesus through our ministry and testimony by which the
world will be saved.
It is very important for us
to know that a Christian isn't a perfect man, No! A man that seeks
righteousness is a Christian. A man that submits to God's will and acknowledges
His presence is a Christian. A man that believes not in his strength but in
God's grace is a Christian.
One Very important point is,
as a Christian, we should not be judgmental We must see the mistakes and non repentance of others as a natural thing that will take its course in due time
as long as we persevere and show love, patience and kindness to the person. It
is a golden rule that we shouldn't judge (Matthew 7:1) So as much as we can, we
should learn to bear with other for their shortcomings and most of all, to let
them see the light of God, we must let it shine through us as God's vessels so
that they too will submit as witnesses of God's good deeds in our lives,
through the grace that we have received by the sacrifice of our Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ.
My hope for us today is that
we mustn't be proud and loud Christians but humble and loving Children of God
who do good deeds consciously to bring glory to God's kingdom.
Humility and Kindness
Friends.
Thanks.
