What you talking about?

Exodus 34:1-9, Isaiah 55:6-10 When Moses was in God's presence God revealed to Himself to Moses. Moses was able to hear what the Lord proclaims about Himself. In essence Moses was the first man to see the true character of God. The Lord our God is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. And we are also aware that He keeps His steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. And in His Goodness He still will judge those who live in sin (Exodus 34:1-7). It is terrifyingly real that God rules all and is Lord of all, regardless if they believe are not (Philippians 2:9-11). God will ultimately judge and us all, whether we care to admit it our not. In the end we all will face a performance review of our life by our true boss. And this time there will be no second chances. But God makes it very clear He does not want anyone to die not knowing Him but they must repent (2 Peter 3:9). God longs for people to forsake their lifestyle of sin and to do away with their impure thoughts (Isaiah 55:7). Because He wants to pardon their sins and watch them spend eternity to Hell. But now I pose a difficult question for all of us. If we know these things are both true and self-evident, then what are we doing about sharing the Gospel? What part are we playing in leading someone to Christ? Another question I have, are we being internet hypocrites? Do we post a good scripture but live a life contrary to what we post? If you saw a Christian acting like yourself would you call them a hypocrite or make an excuses for their sinful behavior? Because what is the point of trying to share Jesus with others if our lives do not inmate His? What is the point of knowing the Good News of Salvation and Forgiveness if we act to timid to speak it or live it? What is the point? People will not know Jesus until they see and hear Him in our lives. Inviting them to church is good but showing them a true Christian is better. I am not claiming to perfect or have it all together. And this is not a critique but a an encouragement. And now the question is where do we go from here? First pray and ask God to show you what areas of you life need to change and repent. Second find a good Christian friend that you can talk to, pray with, and can hold you accountable to live a Christian life. And lastly don't be ashamed to live God'S WAY. Don't be afraid but rejoice in knowing that God love's you and is proud of you. He has you wrapped in His arms. He holds you through the storms, good times, and uncertain moments in life. And when you speak know that He is speaking through you. Stay focused, you can do this! Share the Gospel. In His JOY!
