Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.2 Corinthians 13:5
Over the past few weeks we've discovered that true faith in Christ is lived out by the things we do each moment of every day. Yes, God declares us righteous because of the holiness of Christ and our acceptance of him. But true faith is shown through our actions.
And to see if we are indeed living out what God has already given us, we have to be ruthlessly honest with ourselves before God. We have to see if we are putting that faith into action.
- Is my faith visible for others to see by the way I act?
- Is there a disconnect between my faith and my actions?
- Am I an authentic believer who shows others what it really means to know Jesus?
- Or am I the kind of hypocrite Jesus warns?
Living out your faith can be difficult. And taking an honest look can be even harder. But as you begin to investigate your faith and answer those tough questions, you'll begin to see where God wants to grow and mature you so that you will discover all that he has in store for you!
A Prayer for Today
Dear God, As I go through my life, help me to take a hard look at my life. Help me to answer the questions that will bring my faith and may actions in sync. And help me discover what it truly means to live out my faith in you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
