The Truth, The Only Way, And The Life
God in his infinite mercy made us in His likeness and image, among all other creatures, humans are the only ones he used his hands to make, all other creatures were spoken into existence, which makes us very special to him, and sin crept into the world through our first parents(Adam and Eve), which makes us sinners by birth, but God so loved the world and he does not want a man to just live and perish in his sins which prompted him to send his only son to die and wash away our sins so that when we believe and take Him as our personal Lord and Savior, we will be saved.
God chose some people whom he anointed as his believers and he entrusted the task of bringing his lost children back to his kingdom, he gave them special knowledge, gifts/talent, and wisdom for the task, but most believers these days are not different from the people they go about preaching to, there is no difference whatsoever between the believers and the souls they want to win for God.
Their dressing is the same as the world, they walk, talk and act like the people of the world, which makes it very difficult for the task given to them to be achieved, as a matter of fact, the people who God entrusted the task of saving souls through his gospel have succeeded in leading more souls to condemnation because they, themselves don't do what they preach about, your actions should speak louder than your voice, people see and learn from a believer's actions more than what he preaches to them, nobody wants to be told what to do while the person that told them what to do is busy doing otherwise (do what I say, but don't do what I do), are you talking to your kids? Even your kids will rebel against you if you tell them this kind of thing.
As a believer, much is expected of you, you can't be a believer and be found in fornication, covetousness, gossip, envy, unchecked anger, blasphemy, lasciviousness, etc.
People look up to your actions for guidance rather than just mere talk (talk is cheap), darkness and light have no business together, when light shines, darkness makes way, so if you shine bright with your actions, a lot of people that have been in the dark will want to follow your light, nobody enjoys being in the dark, well, except the devil and his demonic puppets.
Christianity is not a religion, it is a behavioral pattern of Jesus Christ, being a believer is having total faith, hope, and trust in God that you know that he will never fail you, so if you believe in Christ, live like Christ lived, because unbelievers and God expects a perfect example from you.
Have you not seen an unbeliever ask a believer when he does something not expected of the standard of a believer questions like; I thought you were a Christian? I never expected such behavior from you. Why is that so? It is because you have a responsibility of living a life worth emulating as Jesus did, a sinner could be in sin himself, but always use you as a good example for his children to follow, that is what living a good example can do to the life of an unbeliever.
Believers need to suit up and show up for the occasion of carrying out God's task given to them because there is a lot that needs to be done in the very short time that is left.
God please, help your chosen ones to be able to live an exemplary life, and be the light of the world, the Bible says, believers are the light of the world, help them to stop dimming their heavenly light and let it shine so bright, so the whole wide world would see your glory in them and the world will have no option than to follow the light, may God help us and recharge us with his Holy Spirit batteries so that our light will never go out or be blown out by this wicked and selfish world we live in, Amen.
