Our focus
The apostle Paul writes,
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20.
In this statement the apostle Paul makes it clear that once we have accepted Christ as our saviour it is no longer we who live but Christ in us.
Upon accepting Christ into our lives our focus should change form ourselves and what is good for us. To one of doing the will of Christ.
If we claim to be a Christian a true follower of Christ Jesus we should be studying the scriptures to see what God requires of us.
We must do this in order to grow in Christ Jesus. To become Christ like. Because wether we like it or not when we claim to be a Christian people will look at our lives and judge Christ by our words and deeds. As Francis of Assisi wrote,
"The deeds you do
may be the only sermon some persons will hear today"
Francis of Assisi
Please think about it.
