O.K. ...let's talk about being a Christian. What does that even mean? Yeah, we get the whole heaven, hell, fire, and damnation stuff. But what about now? What does it mean to be and live as a Christian now...before I die? It means I am flesh and spirit. We have God, angels, Christians, and the lost. Each is different. I have my human body and soul, but I also have the Spirit of God in me which gives me power. What power? The power to love, to have compassion, to forgive, to be gentle and kind. I also have the gift of constant peace. I may not acknowledge this gift all the time, but it is always available to me. The lost have not yet received the Spirit of God into their very being. It is available for all to receive, but all have not yet received. The lost are in constant pursuit of the same things the saved have...happiness, joy, contentment. The lost cannot sustain these things on their own, because they come from God. The lost stay frustrated, somewhat disappointed, never quite satisfied. Am I not speaking truth?
Being a Christian is not about being better than anyone else, because we are all a mess. Beimg a Christian is about tbeing different. We are not like anything else in creation. As a result, our lives should reflect that difference. That is what it means to glorify God. The lost should desire what I have. What do I have? God in me.
I have lived much longer without God than with Him. As a result, I know...have proof...there is evidence of the truth I speak. Hocus pocus? No. Supernatural? Without question...yes!
