Actively following

the Gospel of MatthewImage by humberpike via FlickrActively following
It is impossible to be neutral about God.  Anyone who is not actively following him has chosen to reject him.  Any person who tries to remain neutral in the struggle of good against evil is choosing to be separated from God who alone is good.

(Matthew 12:30)"Anyone who is not for me is really against me; anyone who does not help me gather is really scattering."

What real difference does Jesus' power make in your daily speech with others?

As a good friend or relative when you see someone in trouble, you will want to help them.  Well you have something that is very important to their present and future happiness, success and purpose in life.  You have an opportunity to save an individual from death (no future) and change their future to graduation to heaven.  Will you hate them so much that you withhold this information from them?  Love would not, and what else should there be.

If you have turned your life over to God, you will find a Love that surpasses any; that you can encounter any other way.  Would you not tell your friends and relatives of a engagement, marriage, or birth of a child.  And yet you have one of the two greatest events (accepting God's control of your life and graduation to your permanent home) in your life, will you withhold this.

Faith sharing should be  a spill over of your joy and love of your God and his other children.  When you have learned about your relationship and have completely committed to it; you will find it easy to talk about it.  An engaged individual who is deeply in love  has no problem, talking about it.  There would be no tongue tied individual giving that earthly news.  Can we do less if we are as deeply in Love with our Father in Heaven.  Jesus said his kingdom would begin quietly, and eventually push outward until the whole world has changed.
