You can't teach those who already think they know it all.

Last time I checked, the only all-knowing one was the Lord God Almighty but you'd swear some Christians were God in the flesh, the way they profess to live a perfect life, and abide by all God's commandments at all times. No, just stop it. You don't follow His commandments to a T. No one does. We can't. If we could, then what is the point of the Cross? Tell me? Why did Jesus come to die for us, if by our own efforts we could keep to His word and earn our way to Heaven?

He didn't. He died for us on that cross because He knew we needed help to live His way, He came to be an example and then He left us with the Holy Spirit to guide us. It is only through Him we have any chance at all at Heaven. Christians, please stop being self-righteous. That will not touch souls for Christ. Being genuine and sincere in the fact that we are just as broken and messed up as the rest of the world, and that the only difference is we know we have a Savior of our soul; That is what will touch hearts for God. Transparency. Don't be fake. God already knows who we are so why pretend? I don't know all the answers but I know the one who holds all the answers, and His name in JESUS! From no other person will I receive discipline in His word but Jesus.

I for one, will never lie to myself nor to God and make promises that I cannot keep to Him. I strive daily to walk the path of Righteousness with all my might. I pray for His revelations when reading His word. But by no means do I know it all or know anything for that matter. I will forever be a babe in Christ, meaning like that of a child, I am a sponge to His wisdom, forever teachable by Him, not man.

"Boast no more all ye who are proud, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the Lord is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed." - 1 Samuel 2:3

With HIM, our actions are weighed, not with man. 💕 Remember that without Christ we are nothing. Show love, compassion and understanding to others, especially as Christians, don't be standoffish. It is not a good look for us. And it can push away those who genuinely want to know Jesus.

"But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." - Matthew 23:12

Be Blessed.
