What
sinner, knows how to judge? It is a matter of fact’ that Christians like to judge others. However, people of the world. No matter how righteous, no matter how pious, no matter what a man calls himself~ he is still a sinner… to think that I have the right to judge you as unworthy, shows my lack of understanding of Jesus Christ. How he waits patiently for the day of our resurrection, then- once received, by his kingdom, we will be all the better for it. The immaculate grace of God~ is the only way any of us, is accepted. We do not earn our way into heaven. People~ who do not understand religious institutions, get a false belief on what to be a religious person is. So many people think that churchgoers are special, that churchgoers do the right thing, that churchgoers are above sin… How is it’ that we as Christians, fail to remind our fellow nonbelievers, that we are still unworthy sinners? Would not more people come to church “more often” if they realized~ we are all equal’ whether we go to church or not? What makes a person wish to attend the church in the first place? Why would someone continue to return to a church? And what responsibility does a church make a priority of proclaiming, witnessing, and inviting people to the faith? I must say, have we all forgotten the sins we have been forgiven? Amazingly, so many people who attend church- put on this false pride’ in their superiority, over those who do not. When reading through every thing in the Bible, at what point does the Bible say “I am” better than you? Did not God give eyes to both of us? No, we are all people trying~ to be better. As Christians, we have to be more aware of these types of questions. We have to ask ourselves in our daily walk, what am I doing today’ to spread the message of Christ? In what way’ have I invited someone to attend my place of worship on a daily basis? For I am truly accountable to my actions~ “once I proclaim” to be a follower. Those who do not understand the Bible, live in a life of needless fear. The reality is death will take all; consequently, we have a safe belief that our faith will carry us beyond the grave. Without this knowledge of the Holy Ghost, we would have “No Salvation” at all. It is our duty~ once we have been called by God to serve Christ, to proclaim that message into our eldest age. There is no retirement from Christianity. One must truly be willing to sacrifice and spread the message, regardless of the consequences. It is this kind of pride that God will reward, because there’s nothing false in it, and its motives are indistinguishable from righteousness and justice. Thomas A. SUTOR P.O.
