Romans 2:28-29
Are you truly saved on the inside?
When you do what you do for Christ, make sure you mean it.
A nasty attitude, even in obedience, shows a lack of true devotion to Christ.
Philippians 3:1-21
Where is you passion for Christ?
Just “being a Jew” won’t save anyone. Just being circumcised, or baptised, will not save anyone.
The only thing that will save anyone is a real relationship with, and commitment to Jesus Christ.
Don’t be a bench-warmer…get in the game!
Ask, “What Have I Done To Win In Christ?”
Remember that just because you get saved doesn’t mean you “sit the bench.”
Being a Christian is being active in Christ.
Don’t use the excuse that nobody’s perfect…
…God enables us to be everything we need to be – perfect and complete in Him…
…and if anything is out of place, He will let us know so we can continue to grow and help others.
1 Corinthians 1:10
We should all be following the same principles, and arrive at the same Godly conclusions.
Make sure your thinking and decision-making process is in line with the Word of God.
(back to Philippians)
Is God your passion?
Consider where and how you spend your time, money, and energy…that’s your God.
Galatians 6:1-18
Look after each other, but carry your own weight.
