At this point you may be wondering what could those
questions be? In the first place
Christians don’t want to be asked these questions for one is upsetting and the
other requires a lot of Introspection. So
let’s get on with this supposition.
Number one; Are you willing to die for your faith? This presupposes that if you deny Christ you
will live. (Live for now - -until you
die.)
To choose to be a martyr instead of living is a serious
decision and it would do every Christian well to reinforce themselves with the
Scriptures that build into them the understanding that there is no life without
Christ. Seek out the promises of GOD
pertaining to the afterlife in the presence of the Almighty.
Jude 1:20-21 But you, dear friends, by building
yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, and keep
yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that
leads to eternal life.
A key component of building yourself up is; “praying in the
Holy Spirit.” This is to be a daily practice.
Number two; Are you willing to live for Christ, walking in
the light as he is in the light?
2 Corinthians 5:15 He died for everyone so that
those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead,
they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.
This means not cutting yourself any slack, and living up to
the commandments instead of ‘missing the mark.’ Being forgiven isn’t a pass to do as you
please. This question isn’t a yes or no
question but the answer is in how you go about your daily life. Your life - - the totality of your being is on
display before GOD and the world. Are your
answers satisfactory to you? More importantly, are they satisfactory to GOD.
Well I told you Christians you may not be asked these
questions but in retrospect perhaps they are important to
our Christian walk.
awesome post.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in Heaven in the not-distant future and worshiping and focusing and filled with glorifying our Heavenly Father that's all that counts. There are about 1,000-plus people I want to see and meet ... some who were in the Bible or some who were kind to me when I was a tough kid in Tacoma or Seattle ...and family and friends through the Lord's time with them. So, I focus on all of that, every day and every night! Worship and praise and glorify to the Lord consistently. He's all that counts! Bless you...
