debunking

Many of us have established opinions in our minds as facts. An opinion is a statement without evidence but a fact is backed up by a catalogue of evidence.

I was listening to a podcast earlier on this week and a statement was made that got me thinking. The statement was basically around the idea that many have the opinion that Christianity is ‘not cool’. In other words, if you’re fully invested in the things of the Lord, you’re doing too much. You know, it’s never that deep as they say.

First of all, people are not Christian because it’s cool. You don’t dedicate your life to Christ and vow to serve Him all the days of your life because it’s cool. It’s very much deeper than that. So whether it’s cool or not, that’s not why we do the things we do.

When you become a Christian, your entire identity is now based on the role of a Christian , who is a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Everything you now do stems from the fact that Jesus Christ ,who once walked on the face of this earth, died and resurrected , is your Lord and personal saviour. You have understood that your good works cannot save you and earn you a place in heaven so you have chosen to accept the sacrifice Christ paid on the cross for your sins.

When people say you’re doing too much, it honestly makes me laugh. Most people who say such are doing absolutely nothing or the bare minimum for Jesus Christ so obviously even the littlest deed will seem much to them.

Doing too much is not a term that can be used to describe any deed a Christian does in reverence for the Lord. I say this because there is nothing that man can ever do that will equate to the immerse suffering Christ endured on the cross for our salvation. It is actually impossible to do too much in God’s sight because even your human body will limit you on how much you can do.

The reason why people say others are doing too much is because they lack revelation and I pray that God will open their eyes. When you understand what Jesus Christ went through for you and I, you would want to dedicate every second of your life to pleasing Him. This was no joke! Crucifixion was no joke! He was tortured to death, He wasn’t just murdered! Open your eyes and see the expression of God’s magnificent love in this. Once you catch this revelation, you will forever want to pour out yourself for the Lord’s glory.

Lastly, to the people who think it’s never that deep or who have succumbed to that ideology, let me submit to you and remind you that it’s even deeper than you think. We don’t go around shouting this Christianity thing for fun. People’s eternal destinations are at stake. Everyday people die and are heading straight to hell because they did not know Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal saviour. They were not committed to Christ. This is not just an endeavour for earthly rewards my people! This is bigger than that. Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and I pray that everyone accepts Him and believes in Him and serves Him faithfully because He loves you and He died so that you don’t have to be enslaved to the devil and spend eternity in hell.
