2 | The Teacher and His teachings? | John 14:23 | Mommapbs | 109696 | ||
Great references Emmaus, but I don't think you should get off that easy! Certainly one can be "civic" minded and feed the hungry, provide for the poor,etc. but is THIS following Jesus or following His teachings? My questions are, of course, meant to be introspective. Too many times I see people "doing good" as if to rack up "brownie points" (I'm showing my age here)in Heaven, if that were possible! Jesus said, "Apart from ME you can do nothing." (John 15:5) I suspect that many of our churches are filled with big hearted people who are doing what the Lord says, but don't know the Lord. Blessings, mommapbs |

Mommapbs, "Certainly one can be "civic" minded and feed the hungry, provide for the poor,etc. but is THIS following Jesus or following His teachings?" Far be it from me to suggest such a thing! However, one may be a follower of Jesus and be considered by others as "civic minded" because of his actions. I think the saved in Matt 25:37-41 are rather those who follow Jesus and His teaching to the point that it has become so natural to them that they are barely even conscious of it. They have conformed themselves to Christ. Rom 8:29. They have "the obedience of faith" Rom 1:5; 15:18; 16:26. Emmaus |
