Do any of us have the right to say whether a person is reflecting the work
Christ has done in them or they are working to justify themselves before the Lord?
Paul said this about himself
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.
1 Thess 2:10
Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens.
Heb 7:26
Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
Matt 10:38
This is a picture to me of someone walking a road and acknowledging where they
have reached. Jesus calls us to follow His example in righteousness, purity and
holiness.
Now it seems many call this calling wrong, evil, twisting of the gospel, legalism,
trampling the cross and Jesus walk.
Now is it possible the scriptures are true and the decriers have lost their way.
Jesus called us to be two things
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matt 5:14-16
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
Matt 5:13
We are salt and light. This speaks of testimony to freedom, love and truth.
I am a sinner saved by grace, and desire to acknowledge the love and power
Christ brings into our lives. So let us bring praise to Christ for His glorious work on
the cross and the forgiveness of sins we have through Him. Amen.
