What are you prepared to endure as you deliver the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who need to hear it? In the process of placing salvation in the hearts, minds, and souls of those who are lost do you tread precariously along the precipice of hell, and risk the loss of your own salvation? Sometimes we find that it is necessary to dine with sinners before they will hear what we have to say about our faith, but we must never let go the hand of Christ, or go out before We are sent.
When you rise in the morning, and first open your eyes, are you awakening to the world, or to God? Is your first thought of getting a cup of coffee (or juice) and beginning another day at work, or is it in thanksgiving to the Lord for this day with Him? What does your checklist look like, and is it your own personal one, or is it written for two? These answers depend on who you think you are.
If you are a Christian, and a true believer, then those in the world will hate you. They will dislike you because you are different... because you are a new creation, but most of all because you are like Jesus Christ, and by that I mean “not of this world.” We know this to be the case because we hear it in a conversation (prayer) between Jesus and God Himself.
