Christianity is a way of life which should be practiced each and every day of your life. Once you know that as a child of God, you should live by the Word, you will never go wrong. A lot of people believe that they are Christians because they were raised in a Christian family and they go to Church every Sunday. But at times when you ask people why they really go to Church, they will not have an answer or even their way of life does not show a representation of a Christian. I urge you to understand what Christianity is and desire to be fully converted. Get your own salvation rather than saying you are a Christian simply because you were raised in a Christian family. On the day of judgment you will stand alone and be accountable for your own life. Revelation 20:12 says, “And l saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Therefore, do not be religious like the Pharisees and Sadducees and the High Priests during the time of Jesus Christ. These people were so religious that even though the Messiah came, and they knew the scriptures, they could not accept Him. Instead they persecuted Jesus Christ for the works that He did. You might know all the scriptures in the Bible, you might go to Church every Sunday and you might have a high position in Church, but as long as you do this without understanding it means nothing. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you in your Christian walk and the LORD will reveal Himself even more to you. Alleluia!

Prayer

Holy Spirit of God, be my guide and teacher in this journey that I am in, in order that I may also be a partaker in the eternal life that has been prepared for us. Help me to be humble so that I may grow and be established more in the things of God. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.
