Be Known For What You Do...Not For What You Can't Do

Be Known For What You Do…Not For What You Can’t Do

Posted on 27. Jul, 2010 by Colton in Lifestyle, Reflections

The all too common reputation for Christians is being known for what they “can’t do”; we can’t party, we can’t have premarital sex, we can’t do drugs, we can’t this and we can’t that. And then what we are known for “doing” is being hypocrites, and judgmental…this was not God’s desire for us!!!

Although there are definitely things we can’t do as followers of Christ, those should not be what we are known for. An apple tree is not known for the fruit it does not produce, it is known for the fruit it produces! In the same way, that is how we should be known. God has called us to action!!! Not to stand by and watch life go on. The most important things we should be known for doing are summed up in these verses:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” -Matthew 22:37-38

We should be known for:

Loving God
Loving People

That is simply all. If we live life like this, our world around us will begin to change. Of course, I could spend hours upon hours writing about the topic of what a true follower of Christ’s lifestyle should be like…but simply, if our life is about loving God, and then loving people…well, it encompasses it all.

Let us live life to be known for what we do!!

Thank you for the simple yet to the point message. It is actually encouraging and reassuring that we have not vered off to do a lot of things to live for the Lord Jesus. This has really cleared off a lot of confusion and hypocricy for me. Thanks again and The Lord Jesus bless you.
