Who is God? It’s a universal question that everyone, even non-Christians, ponder. We are all seeking answers to who we believe God is. Even hundreds of years ago, Augustine, the bishop of Hippo, wondered the same thing, and he shares about his search in a poem he wrote in his confessions.
In my small group this week, we asked the question,”Who has Jesus been to you?” It’s a really good question. Everyone in group had different answers, including myself. Jesus has been many things to me. He’s, of course, my savior, but He’s also a role model. In fact, recently that is what I have been focusing on the most in my relationship with Him. Many of us know Jesus as our savior, friend, counselor, and brother, but how many of us treat Jesus as a role model? Many of us know that we should be like Jesus, but how many of us would say that Jesus is our role model?
Jesus was a man of action. He didn’t just teach; He also did the things He was teaching. As Christians, Jesus calls all of us to not only be listeners but to be doers. This isn’t even debatable. Throughout the teachings of the New Testament Jesus constantly challenges His followers to not simply hear the words He says, but to put His teachings into practice. Many Christians think they are doers of the word, but in reality, they are not. Satan has tricked them into confusing in action for action and here’s how it happens.
How do we balance sharing the Gospel and living with nonbelievers?
