So I was thinking here....
The world...is...so encompassed in sin, as are we, the people that live here. I just got to thinking about our jobs as Christians are to spread the word of God and further the kingdom.
However
you know one reason why it doesn't talk about in the Bible what else we should do, besides spread the message and further the kingdom, is because Christians are relatively a select few. Most people WILL go to hell. Most people WILL NOT accept Jesus. Most people WILL fall...and some Christians will fall from grace because they no longer want Jesus.
And I'm thinking I need to get my crap together, because although grace is a gift, I don't have to accept that. And if I believe grace has been given to me through the death of Jesus, but I am not having a relationship with Him, fellowshiping with Him, or bearing my own cross, am I really taking that free gift at all? I would say probably not.
So I'm going to make more effort to be better, but only because my God wants it, and I want it, and I'm willing to let Him hang with me and work with me. Not that I'm saying I'm more powerful than God, but how much easier will it be for Him to work with a willing heart? It'll be much easier.
I love the gifts and talents I've been given, and I love my Creator, and I don't like to disrespect Him or make Him unhappy. Our hearts are connected, and He doesn't need to constantly remind me of what I'm doing wrong, becuase I already know it when He tugs on my heart strings. This was for me, but if anyone else can relate here, awesome. Drop a line.
