This “so called Christian” is a phony!

There are many people who say they are Christian, or followers of Christ. Yet, when we speak to “Christians,” their views are all over the place.  some feel that we should live one way, and others feel that we should live another way. This will only create confusion, and as it relates to eternal life, only one book has the bedrock solid truth, and that it is sacred scriptures. 1 John 2: 3-5 says: “Here’s how we can be sure that we’ve truly come to know God: if we keep his commands. If someone claims, “I have come to know God by experience,” yet doesn’t keep God’s commands, he is a phony and the truth finds no place in him. But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word.” Please read this verse again. We cannot just know God “by experience.” Our experience might very well be wrong! We have to know and keep His commands. Anyone that claims that they are a “Christian” who does not follow God’s commands is a phoney according to the scriptures. It’s an error to think that just because your mother or father serve God, you’re covered and everything is OK between you and God. We all need a personal relationship with God in Christ. James 1:21-22 says: Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Are you a doer or a hearer only?

This is truly a precious treasure!

I was amazed when I heard that Babe Ruth’s baseball shirt was just sold at auction for over a million dollars! People will pay great money for what they consider to be great treasures. Unfortunately, most of the “so-called” treasures that people run after only have a short-term value. It’s only valuable for maybe several generations. However, God’s treasures are eternal. Psalms 19:10 (TPT) says: “The rarest treasures of life are found in his truth. That’s why I prize God’s word like others prize the finest gold. Nothing brings the soul such sweetness as seeking his living words.” God’s promises and wisdom are treasures that far surpass the value of any earthly treasure, including gold and silver. Those who love, value and seek His truth find that they bring sweetness to the soul. Another translation says that His words are like honey and the honeycomb (NKJV). Many of those who have earthly treasures still do not have any peace and joy in their hearts as these treasures cannot give peace and joy. But those who seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness have access to the peace that passes understanding and the joy of the Lord, which is our strength! And as we seek His Kingdom first, God promises to “add” all of the other earthly needs to them (Matthew 6:33). What is the treasure that your heart longs for?
