In relation to God
A British Evangelist in the 1800-1900’s named Gypsy Smith’ told of a young fellow came to him, a fine character who had been put in a most prominent place in that particular mission.
He was delegated to take the hand of every inquirer during the week long meeting and give the last word of advice and counsel.
He filled his position from Monday to Saturday, and on Saturday evening he said to Gypsy Smith he wanted to talk with him on Sunday.
Gypsy asked him what he wanted to see him about, thinking he wanted to see him about some special case.
He said, "About my own soul."
"Why," Gypsy asked, "what is the trouble?"
He said "I am not converted; I have never been born again."
He said, "My parents supposed I was a Christian and urged me to join the church, and I did so.
My pastor supposed I was a Christian and I was made a Sunday School teacher and an officer in the church.
Because they supposed and kept on supposing, nobody has ever looked me in the eye and said: "Harry, are you right with God?"
A Changed Life?
In the song, ’The Change’ by Steven Curtis Chapman, Chapman talks about having all of the Christian gadgets T-shirts and bracelets, Bible magnets and bumper stickers, but asks ’what about The Change?’
A Believer is a new creation there will be a change.
An Obedient Life?
The Bible recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith.
The two are at opposite sides of the same coin.
– A.W. Tozer.
Leadership, Vol. 12, no. 4
An Unashamed Life?
A Life Pursuing Holiness?
All of us are guilty of sin.
But if you can continually sin without remorse, conviction, chastisement or repentance, then you had better question the reality of your profession.
In relation to others
“the greatest mark of a saved person is a loving compassionate spirit.”
(Returning to Holiness, Frizzell, p 92)
Do you harbor hatred toward anyone?
you can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.
- Anne Lamott in Bird by Bird.
Christianity Today, Vol.
41, no. 8.
Do you have unforgiveness or bitterness toward anyone?
Do you have regular fellowship with God’s people in the local church?
Are you able to skip church attendance for weeks at a time without any conviction over it?
Do you look forward to fellowship with on-fire Christians?
A backslidden Christian can stay out of church and away from other believers, but it is an absolute certainty that the true believer will never be comfortable remaining outside of God’s house.
