Are u a real disciple or are u a wannabe disciple?
Saturday, May 03, 2008
Ps Ron's teaching today was difficult to swallow. it was what many would label- a hard lesson.
in the midst of the teaching, i find myself asking the same questions.
"is the kingdom of God valuable to me?" "what is so valuable about God's kingdom?" "Am i a real disciple?"
though i agreed with him, i find that these things are really NOT EASY to put into practice. Theory we all know. Head knowledge we all have. But in practice, how many do we apply? How often do we internalise these truths;
"True disciples recognise the value of the kingdom that they are willing to sacrifice their lives."
"If the kingdom of God is so valuable to us, we will sacrifice for it. It is even worth dying for God's kingdom."
"If we know what's at stake, we'll know what's priceless."
"At the end of the day, judgement will come."
"If hell is real, then you must guard the kingdom of God in your heart."
"Jesus is the passport to heaven, and a passport whereby we can avoid going hell."
so we Christians should all;
"Wake up to the reality of heaven and hell. The kingdom of God is valuable."
it is a hard lesson but we need to hear it, and do it.
