Quiet Time #15 - Walking the Talk

- August 24, 2017

"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him." Colossian 2:6

Accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is not the finish line. Instead it is the starting point. Then the race begins -- not a sprint but a marathon, okay a walkathon.

And everything begins and ends with Jesus. This is why the bible said, He is the Alpha and the Omega, the A and the Z. All starts with Him saving us, and ends with Him meeting us at the Lord's Supper in heaven. (Then eternity starts).

Truth

And this journey starts when we accept our need of a savior and when we accept God's finished work of salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. Then our eyes, our ears, our mind and our heart are immediately opened to the truth. In fact, Jesus is the truth.

And the truth endures, it never changes. Once we know the truth, our faith builds up and we can start walking in it -- one step at a time. And one step after another as our faith grows and matures and bears fruit that endures.

So step by step, let us walk out our faith daily -- walking not by sight and walking the talk.

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

Disclaimer

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
