"For the child within her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21
Have we fallen into the trap of the one-liner “Well I am not perfect, I am a sinner?” Did we forget that everyone already knows that we are not perfect and that we are sinners? Did we forget it was the very reason Christ came? So my question is why do we walk around with the groupie's who follow the one-liner band?
Let’s get out and get out fast! If we have Christ in us, like we tell people we do, then we need to start living as though we really have Christ in us! Brethren it is Christ in us that is perfect, pure, and holy? When we accepted Christ and He came to take up residency within us, we made the choice to serve Him, live for Him, and to spend the rest of our lives striving to live a pure and holy life just as He did. (1 Peter 1:16)
We need to become groupies of Christ's band! Groupies that know we are sinners, but know that without Him we are nothing (John 15:5), thus striving to be God-pleasers. We need to be groupies that live to make His band the most famous.
We have to stop the excuses, people blaming, and the one-liners, and make the choice everyday to pick up the mirror of Christ, and live as people who absolutely know with out a doubt that Jesus is alive within us.
What band are you going to follow?
Prayer: Lord forgive us for following a band that has been blinded by the one-liner excuse. May we start today to follow You and be true believers, and faithful followers of You that lives in us. Thank you for coming to save us, and for loving us so much that You desire us to be imitators of You. Amen!
