transformation

How do we show, in our lives as Christ followers, that we follow Him? 

That He has changed us? 

"For man, all that their faith changes in the external trappings of their relationships. Instead of partying we have Bible studies. Instead of clubbing, we host game nights. But is it really God's goal to simply turn drinking buddies into accountability partners? To turn gossip sessions into prayer? NO! Far be it from us to expect so little transformation in our friends ships! When the spiritually dead receive new life in Christ, the entire heartbeat of friendship is transformed." - Youversion (www.bible.com)

How sad it is that we only expect surface changes when it's the insides that need to be renewed. 

How are you showing your faith to those around you? 

Are you carrying a Bible and wearing a necklace, yet berating people who do the smallest things wrong?

Or are you showing up for people emotionally and loving like Christ does? Touching the heart?

Are you working on your own insides to give your fellow believers a view of what living for Jesus is supposed to be like? Being an example of God?
