Grace for your spirit February 9, 2010

Grace for your spirit
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. I John 3:10
If we were arrested tonight for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict us? It is obvious to people whether or not we are children of God, whether we are practicing sin, or practicing righteousness, whether we or not we love our brothers? Far too many people who bear the name of Christ, walk in this world in complete anonymity. Would we be willing to let strangers guess whether or not we are Christians by the way we live? A policeman arrested a woman at a stop light for throwing a fit, and screaming at another motorist. Later, when she was released, the policemen told her the reason he arrested her. With her multiple bumper stickers about Jesus, "What would Jesus do", "Honk if you love Jesus", and "Follow me to Bible school", the policeman assumed that the car must be stolen. What do people assume about us?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
