The writer of Hebrews states,
“Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” Hebrews 12:14.
The late English evangelist Charles Spurgeon said,
"O Christian people, be holy, for Christ is holy. Do not pollute that holy Name wherewith you are named. Let your family life, your personal life, your business life, be as holy as Christ your Lord would have it to be." Charles H. Spurgeon.
Francis of Assisi wrote,
Thus the need for each individual to take a look at their life from time to time. To take a look at what they are doing and what the say. For what we say and do has the potential for eternal consequences.
Each believer in Christ Jesus is Christ’s representative on this earth. Thus the need for a holy life.
Living a holy life does not mean constantly preaching, or as one of my pastors said, “becoming so heavenly minded you are no earthly good.”
The world wants to see Christians who are real and genuine. Who are truly living out their faith.
Billy Graham once said,
"Those outside the church expect followers of Christ to live differently, yet today many in church are chasing after the world - not to win them, but to be like them."Billy Graham.
Sadly he’s right. Many calling themselves Christians outside of Church cannot be distinguished from those who are not Christians.
Thus my question to anyone reading this who claims to be a Christian. Is your words and deeds outside the Church reflecting the Love of God?
Please think about it.
