A Good Example

In chapter two of Malachi, God is angry with the priests because they departed out of His way. The priests were supposed to hear from the Lord, know the law of truth, be the messengers of the Lord, and turn many away from iniquity. But the priests had departed out of the way and made others to stumble, so God cursed them. Today, Christians should remember that they are the light of the world. As a Christian, you have taken the name of Jesus to yourself. If you say you are born of God, but do not act like God's child, some might decide not to follow Jesus because the Bible says that Jesus changes lives and your life isn't changed. If your parents are Christians, that doesn't make you a Christian. You must know Jesus personally. Make sure you, like the priests, do not make others stumble by not being determined to give glory to Jesus' name. If you are a real Christian, you will act like one. Give all to Jesus, and he will purify you and purge you, that you might be a pleasant offering unto the Lord. Spend time with Him every day and really set your heart to seek Him. He is the very best friend you could ever have.

Christian any more than going to a

garage makes you an automobile.”
