Aren't You a Christian? Part 2

Tags:

In a special sense we have been set in this world as watchmen and light bearers. On us is shining wonderful light from the Word of God. What manner of persons, then, ought we to be?

Our lives should show steady spiritual growth. But I have seen that which makes me tremble—men and women dwarfed in character, possessing the Word of God, which tells them what they must do in order to be saved, yet unsanctified and unholy. They do not enjoy the strength provided for every Christian, because they refuse to be Christlike.

It is the purpose of God to glorify himself in his people before the world. He longs to make them channels through which he can pour his boundless love and mercy. But are we what God would have us?—No, we are not. We need to examine ourselves closely, and surrender our lives unreservedly to God. We need to grasp the offered gifts of heaven, and live out their love and gratitude. When Christians bring the righteousness of Christ into the daily life, sinners will be converted, and victories over the enemy will be gained.

Let us come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty powers of darkness. Satan is working with intensity of purpose to enslave and destroy souls. Let us take a firm stand against him. He who is fully consecrated to the service of God will be made strong for the battle. He will be strengthened with “all might.” He who feels his weakness, and wrestles with God as did Jacob, saying. “I will not let thee go, except thou bless me,” will go forth with the fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit. The atmosphere of heaven will surround him. He will go about doing good. His influence will be a positive force in favor of the religion of Christ.
