Lk 12:48 “… For unto whomsoever much is given,
of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they
will ask the more.”
Being a Christian is much more than claiming a title. It
requires the embodiment of something much greater than self. It calls into existence
the shaping of one’s soul into mirroring all the characteristics of Jesus and
all that He represents. It’s not a spiritual smorgasbord, choosing which attribute
we like but rather embodying each individual one in our walk. As a Christian one
doesn’t get to make claims that certain thoughts and acts are just the way they
are in attempt to avoid accountability to humility, selfishness and servitude
of others. Quite the opposite, labeling oneself as a Christian he or she is choice
fully taking accountability of their own heart and making genuine change in
Christ-likeness that allows all others, regardless of their heart to see the
love of Jesus through them. Christianity
calls one to love not just the lovable (Lk 6:32-42), but all men where they are
as an example of Jesus and His worth.
It’s more than a title, it requires a testimony that embodies
the worth of One much greater than self… HSAY
