ASHAMED OF CHRIST?

I live in a society where homosexuality is a norm-it’s no longer frowned upon .One thing I’ve observed is how homosexuals aren’t shy about themselves.And I find myself wondering,if those who are committing sin aren’t shy,why should I be shy for standing for God?

The world is filled with sin such that it’s hard to find individuals who hate sin,yet God is still calling upon such.God views those who’ve accepted him as a “chosen generation,royal priesthood,a holy nation”.Just like God wanted the Israelites to be depositories of His law,He still wants the same in this 21^st century.

There are souls that are in darkness and they need light.God says believers are the “salt and light” (Matthew 5:13-16) of the world.Interestingly,the sun does not choose which corner to brighten but  shines everywhere and so it is with the salt.The salt does not choose to bring savour to one portion but it brings taste everywhere it is poured.

Just like salt and light do not operate conditionally,so should the case be with us Christians.We are to be Christ-like at all times,irregardless of whether  we are the only Christian in a room or we are living under unconditional conditions.How I pray to be like Christ-consistent with God’s will always!

“Many take it for granted that they are Christians, simply because they subscribe to certain theological tenets. But they have not brought the truth into practical life. They have not believed and loved it, therefore they have not received the power and grace that come through sanctification of the truth. Men may profess faith in the truth; but if it does not make them sincere, kind, patient, forbearing, heavenly-minded, it is a curse to its possessors, and through their influence it is a curse to the world.”~The Desire of Ages,p.309,310.
