"NOT GUILTY:
Insufficient Evidence!"
![]()
If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to
convict you?
Think about it. What Christian attributes do you have? Christ left us His
peace (John 14:27); does it fill your life? He sent us His Comforter (John
15:26); does He guide your steps each day? He promised us joy (John 15:11);
are you taking Him at His word?
He told us to love one another (John 15:12), forgiving each other freely
(Luke 6:37); to be compassionate (Matthew 18:33); to love God (Mark 12:29);
to pray for deliverance from evil (Matthew 6:13). He advised us not to
find fault with others unless we were without guilt ourselves (John 8:7) -
and reminded us that there is none good save God (Luke 18:19).
Frequently we hear people say they can be just as good a Christian without
going to church. They justify themselves by saying that many churchgoers
are hypocritical in their actions, having one set of values for Sunday
and another for the rest of the week.
Are you one of the churchgoers they are thinking of?
Because if you are, maybe you should ask yourself whose side you are
REALLY on!
Let's try to draw others to our respective churches by the light of
Christian charity and love that shines from our collective faces when we
gather to worship our Lord and Saviour.
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour,
wherewith shall it be salted?" Matthew 5:13
A Christian whose faith is not evident in his or her daily life is like
salt that has lost its saltiness; but a Christian who lives his/her faith
is letting his/her "light so shine before men, that they may see (his/her)
good works, and glorify (our) Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
Let's live so that there would be plenty of evidence to convict us of
being Christians!
