I know a lot of people who are disappointed in their relationship with God. It is without exception that these people are the ones who have invested very little time into that relationship. They neither know God or what His word teaches about life and living. They want to use God for their own desires.
Have you discovered that the more you pursue God, the less you care about many things? That has been the story for me. It is not that I care less about life, it is that I care less about the insignificant things in life. The things that really matter are the things that God cares about.
One primary way that we can evaluate our relationship with Jesus is to evaluate the things we care about. When we are truly in love with someone, we care about what matters to them. When we are truly serving someone, what they want is WHAT we give ourselves to.
What does my life say that I truly care about?
can a person be too confident in Christ? no.
ReplyDeletecan a person confidently do churchy things and be wrong about knowing Christ? apparently.
may God grant us the sensitivity to conform ourselves to His will and to be known by Him as we in turn strive to know Him.
