Read and Study: 2 Corinthians 5:1-10
My Friend,
Who or what do you live for and who or what do you embrace and promote?
We live in a broken world, and yet I have to admit that I find it absolutely shocking to see what's going on in our world today at times.
People calling good bad and bad good. People promoting and embracing the most heinous things. Their behavior is horrible and yet they are deemed "good" and "moral" in the eyes of this world.
This is even true sometimes of those who call themselves followers of Christ. They promote some of the most ungodly and vile things and people. Some even claim that Jesus would as well?!
My Pastor recently reminded me that we will be accountable to God for what we embrace or promote.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Then ask yourself:
-Do you embrace that which is unbiblical and ungodly?
--Do you care more about the world than God?
-Do you live more for the world than God?
-Do you love the world more than you love God?
We need to care more about people's eternal well being, their very souls, and eternal destination than that which is momentarily popular.
If you're a follower of Christ then you and I need to stand on biblical principles with Jesus as our foundation. We need to stop playing games. The world is not our foundation but Jesus is.
Furthermore, the world does not and should not dictate our behavior and morals, but God's Word should as it's full of principles for life and godliness.
Friend... I challenge you to seek to live for Him, His kingdom, His glory and your eternal future and not for this world, it's ways, and this little temporal "kingdom".
I challenge you to love people in Jesus name but to not embrace or promote that which goes against God and His Word. If you choose to do so anyway, just remember that you will stand before God one day and you will be accountable.
Your brother and servant in Christ,
Randolph Koch
