WHO WE ARE, NOT WHO WE ARE NOT

Another oldie... But truth doesn't change:

A few years ago, I read something by a friend about who we are as Christians. He said people now want to be know as Christians by virtue of the fact that they don't smoke, they don't drink, they don't fornicate... blah blah blah.

But that has never been the definition of a Christian, or our identification. You can say a lot about what you are not, but please, do tell us; WHO ARE YOU!!?? When Jesus was giving us our identification He said, "They shall know you by your love" (John 13:35 paraphrased). What a shock! In fact, what a wow!!! That's it??!! Love!!?? Errr, yeah... LOVE. ( It's the foundation of the fruit of the Spirit in Gal 5:22 - it was mentioned first!!)

Christ lived out love till He died a shameful death for you. Now it's your turn to LIVE for the One who DIED for you!! And since He doesn't change (Heb 13:8), you cannot live your life (which is now His - because He bought you with His blood) any different.


So go out there and love!!! Now who are we?? I can't answer for you... Only you can, but we should be LOVE WALKING IN A BODY. May people see Christ in you in Love today. Bless you.
