This sound clip from BreakPoint.org is worth your ear (Link here). We who are Christians don’t worship Christ because He is good for us (though He is!) but because we believe the evidence that He rose from the dead. At the same time, it is interesting to hear what even secular studies reveal about religious belief on the culture around us.
Will non-believers in Christ take note? Probably not, but it is encouraging nevertheless and I hope it would spur you to pray for your non-believing friends—that they might be given eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit of God continues to do in our very imperfect lives. He makes us new.
He forgives us.
He makes us new.
He transforms us.
He makes us better men and women than we would have been without Him.
And in just two weeks we get to celebrate with the whole family of God around the world, that He rose from the grave, conquered sin and death, and one day soon, is coming back to receive us to Himself. Hallelujah, what a Savior.
Amen! This is true (at least for me), because I’ve noticed the more involved I have become in church and/or church activities with other believers, the more joyful I generally am!
