Are You a Real Christian?
Do you profess Christ but do not
really know if you are saved?
Are you a
Non-Christian?
Are
you a Non-Christian? Sometimes
this can be a difficult question to work through and around.
Often, sanguine people would like to think of themselves as
Christians - maybe they equate Christian with being moral?
People often categorized themselves as moral.
No that they are, but that they think they are.
I think at least most people would.
Sure, there are the occasional Atheists and Agnostics who hate
Jesus Christ and simply use such philosophical systems to hide their
sin, but for the most part, people would like to think of themselves as
basically good. But I did
not ask you if you thought you were basically good, rather, I brought
you into a head-on encounter with Jesus Christ.
Are you a Christian? Now
I suppose here people have all sorts of ideas about what a
“Christian” may be. But
I did not ask you for all sorts of opinions.
When I ask you if you are a Christian, I am asking this in light
of the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself.
You may say, “Well I am unsure of the teachings of Jesus
Christ.” Well then, you
have answered my question! To
disregard who Jesus Christ is, and what He taught, is to certainly place
yourself in opposition to everything He is and everything He taught.
Being a Non-Christian means you are either indifferent to the
things of Jesus Christ or are in opposition to Him.
In reality, Jesus Christ said that anyone who was either
indifferent to Him or opposed to Him is essentially in the same boat.
They are lost. They
are lost in a world of sin in which they believe themselves to be just
fine.
"What is the meaning of
Life?"
"Why are we here?" People
have been asking questions like that for quite a long time. But what's
the answer? Is the answer of life
to make lots of money? Is it to get married and have a family?
Is it to be successful in a career? Is it to acquire nice things? Life
may be filled with all of these things, even being rich like Abraham,
Job or Solomon. But is all
that the end-all reason for our existence?
No, not even close.
"That ye may with one mind and one
mouth glorify God,
even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 15:6
The chief end of man is to
glorify God, and enjoy Him forever.
That
is why we were created--to glorify God.
But there is a problem--people
do not want to glorify God because they love themselves more than they
love God. They are
involved in self-love rather than having an interest in Jesus Christ.
“For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God.”
Romans 3:23
“For men shall be lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false
accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God.”
2 Timothy 3:3-4
God's wrath is kindled against all those who
fall short of His glory, and He will judge them for being sinners.
“The foolish shall not stand in Thy
sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity."
Psalm 5:5
If non-Christians are sinners who have God's
anger kindled against them, how are they to be saved from His wrath--how
can they be free from being judged and condemned?
Jesus Christ said, "Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent
me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is
passed from death unto life."
John 5:24
Only through Jesus Christ
may a man glorify God and escape the wrath of God.
“Even Jesus, which delivered us from the
wrath to come.”
1 Thessalonians 1:10
“Neither is there salvation in any
other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved."
Acts 4:12
Time is running out for you.
Every day brings you one step closer to the
judgment of God.
Is
this something scary? Yes.
Is
being judged for everything you have ever thought, ever said, ever done
something shameful? It should be.
