THEY ARE NOT OF CHRIST Friday September 4, 2015
Text: Ephesians 4:17 – 24 Memory verse: v
20
Paul
charges us here as Christians that we should no longer behave as the unconverted
Gentiles, who walked in vain fancies and carnal affections. They don’t know the
saving knowledge. They preferred darkness and loved it rather than light. They
had a dislike and hatred to a life of holiness, which is not only the way of
life God requires and approves, and by which we live to Him, but which has some
likeness to God Himself in His purity, righteousness, truth, and goodness.
Behaving in the opposite way is evidence they are not of Christ because
Christians are light (John 3:18 – 21).
There
is no benefit in deceiving oneself. If you are of God let it be seen in your
deed. We are called into life of truth and righteousness. Anything short is
contrary to our call. We are of Christ when our lives are reflection of His
person. Are you of Christ or you are one of the pretenders? Let the life of
Jesus be seen in you as live in your work place, business arena and
neighbourhood.
Food for Thought: Are you truly of Christ? Do you have the evidence?
Prayer: Almighty God, let the life of Jesus Christ be seen in
me.
