Do you do your best?
The apostle Paul writes,
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2Timothy 2:15.
If you claim to be a Christian a true believer in Christ Jesus you are the lense through which people see Christ. Thus the need to present the word of God in the purest way humanly possible.
We cannot afford to misinterpret scripture. To twist it to say what we want it to say. To listen only to what we agree with. St. Augustine said,
“If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.” St Augustine.
Additionally we must live the gospel every day. Our deeds must reflect the unconditional love of Jesus.
If we are not doing this then we are falling far short of what God wants for us.
Please think about it.
