 Do you ever wonder why celebrities can claim the name of Christ one week and then openly mock him the next? Obviously, this doesn't just apply to celebrities. Maybe you have somebody in your life who at one point made a passionate profession of faith in Christ and was eager to serve him, and then later on, they end up rejecting the same God they said they love. Many people approach Jesus as a vending machine to get joy, happiness, peace, maybe even a get out of hell free card. But they have yet to experience a relationship with him. This is why the scripture says to examine yourself to see if you're in the faith. Do you have a relationship with God or are you just in it for his stuff? Meanwhile, we still carry pride in our heart and testify to our own goodness. Listen friend, if you've never truly understood the depravity of your own sin, ask God to convict your heart that you would see your sin and that it would break your heart and that you would see Jesus, the good and gracious savior who died to make you alive again.
