What you do matters. Yes it does and in a Big Way. Yes we are the Righteousness of God in Christ, Yes our sins are forgiven and all, but we must care seriously about how our character affects the testimony of our FAITH and Convictions with the things of the Spirit.
People do not want to follow a Lawless God, neither do they want to follow a God that hates and refuses to forgive others. How come people can have these perceptions about God? They pick those signals from we His Children. Remember God made Man in His own Image. In other words, we reflect the whole essence of God. When we are saved, the divine nature of God (2 Peter 1:4) is imparted into our spirits and we become His Advocates, Representative and Ambassadors on earth.... Because of this people begin to see a glimpse of God show through us...
Scripture describes the believers as 'epistles known and read of all men' (2 Cor 3).Can I say this: You and I are been read like a Book...everyday we are being read. The words we say, the reactions we give to issues are known and read of all men.
So does your Character have anything in common with your faith in God? How are you perceived by people? Jesus, though the Son of God, asked "Who do men say that I the son of man am?" and in the process many answers came in.
Your Character Must Demonstrate the Nature of God.... That Nature is LOVE.
PRAYER:
Lord, whatever prevents men from seeing you clearly through my life, take it away tonight in Jesus Name.
Grow in Grace,
