I have been seeing lately that A lot of Christians are saying they are loosing their faith, or doubting Christianity, or loosing hope.
Why?
Jesus spoke of this when he spoke of the virgins and the oil lamps. There was a time when they could have taken extra oil in their lamps seeing that the night was coming. The wise virgins took extra oil in the day. So when the groom was to come their oil was still burning, but the foolish virgins caused the lamp to burn out. What happens to an oil lamp with no oil to keep it burning? What happens to salt without saltiness? Neither are any good for the purpose they were created. You have the lamp but no oil to keep it burning. You have the salt but no saltiness, and it is only as good as sand.
Jesus Christ is the oil that lights the lamp. This is how we are nourished in the faith. I was dying but Jesus gave me life. He is my oil. If a tree does not have root, it is easily rooted up by a small storm, and though it was great in appearance, the storm shows how well rooted it was. Oh how great a tree it was, but now it is uprooted!!
What good is a fig tree that does not produce fig fruit? It is cursed.
Do you have oil in you? It is one thing for a person to say they have oil, but the night will tell if you carried enough.
May Jesus bless you.
