How is our relationship with Christ? Are we learning and growing to be fully committed to be like Him or are we giving lip service? It is so easy to say we are Christians and do some of the things needed to play the part, but God wants all of us. He wants us to surrender our selfish human lives to live for Him just as Jesus did. Our faith is not a bunch of boxes we check off as completed, our faith is alive and constant; seeking and asking. I say take all the titles and names away and truly live like someone who is transformed and living to be like Christ. Amen
Psalm 78:36-39 “But all they gave Him was lip service; they lied to Him with their tongues. Their hearts were not loyal to Him. They did not keep His covenant. Yet He was merciful and forgave their sins and did not destroy them all. Many times He held back His anger and did not unleash His fury! For He remembered that they were merely mortal, gone like a breath of wind that never returns.”

Yes, God has amazing love for us. How much longer will he wait for His people to really be HIS PEOPLE. Everything we have, God gives us. What do we share with others and God? Are we, like it says in 2 Timothy 3, lovers of ourselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud etc., as it says it will be in the end times or are we lovers of God and lovers of our neighbors, helping others and leading a life that pleases God. If Jesus gave His life for us shouldn't we respond and be like Jesus to others. And remember, Jesus was SINLESS. How are we doing on that?
