Who concerning the Truth have erred, saying that the
resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth
sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the Name of
Christ depart from iniquity. 2 Timothy,
Chapter 2, verses 18-19.
I think this passage speaks to people who try to
confuse us by saying things like, “Heaven is here on earth, right now,” or “You
can make your life a heaven or a hell by the choices you make.” Your choices do bring about logical
consequences. If you make poor lifestyle
choices, you usually have a life that reflects those choices. If you make lifestyle choices that reflect
your faith in God, you won’t have steak on the table every night, but God will
take care of you.
My concern is that people can get confused by others
and lose their focus on God when they engage in philosophical religious debates
with them. Even though some profess to
be devout Christians, reading the Bible is one of the best ways to find out
God’s Will for us.
God wants us, Confused Christians, to leave behind our sinful ways and to
live a life that reflects how He has influenced us. We don’t have to get public notoriety as a
Christian in order to have Salvation.
God knows who the Christians are and who just says they are.
Since this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
