A word of encouragement for your day.
THE MOST IMPORTANT
"You are a letter of Christ, known and read by all people."
What is the most important thing?
To be happy?
No!
To be popular?
No!
To be successful?
No!
To be safe and secure?
No!
To become a Christian?
Well…
To be sanctified?
Well…
To have a strong anointing and service in the kingdom of God?
Well…
What is it then?
That you die!
Why is this so important?
Because if that does not happen, what is even more important cannot happen!
And what is it?
That Christ takes shape in you and begins to live His life in and through you.
We must die to ourselves, so that we can say, "It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."
That is the goal both for the Christian life, for sanctification and for all service in the kingdom of God.
The most important thing is not that you become a Christian and go to heaven one day, but that Christ lives His divine life in and through you today.
Why is this so important?
Otherwise, the world will never believe that Christ is real.
For most people, He is a 2000-year-old historical figure, for others a myth or a beautiful religious example, but no tangible reality.
It is not enough for the world to hear about Christ, they must see Christ.
How will they see Him?
In you!
When the real Christ is truly made real in you, the world will truly understand that he is a reality and begin to believe in Him.
Are you a "letter of Christ" that people around you can read and then be convinced that He is real, or is your life a denial of what you claim about Him?
