FAITH CAPSULE: Are you are an unbelieving believer or believing believer?
Matthew 5
Today, there are unbelieving believers, and some are answering as believing believers.
Who are you, and what kind of a believer are you?
Think about this: How can it be that food coming out of the kitchen with salt should be tasteless?
Jesus said in Matthew 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men”.
A kitchen with salt and produces tasteless and unacceptable food is evidence that salt has lost its flavor.
The salt that is not effective has lost its purpose.
Such salt becomes waste and is due to be thrown away.
According to Jesus, a thrown-away salt becomes an underfoot material.
As an acclaimed believer, are you living as a salt of the earth?
What kind of salt are you?
Are you one that is bold in quoting the word of God without Godly character to back your quotation or claim as a believer?
Search yourself, think of it to question and answer if you are the salt of the earth.
Believers of the word are to be salt that seasons their world with godly and acceptable contributions.
What kind of a believer are you?
Think about this: You are to be a light that brightens up your world that identifies you as a light that terminates darkness.
Matthew 5:14-15 identifies what light to be, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Jesus does not suggest but identified that you are light.
Live life as the light of God, pointing out for all to live life for the glory of God.
The majority today is answering as a believer but deceiving, not knowing that God sees all.
Live life as a preserving agent, as the light of God according to the word of God.
Be a believer in the depth of your heart, to live life by the word of God that is true.
Today, there is an unbelieving believer, and some are answering as believing believers.
An unbelieving believer knows about God.
An unbelieving believer can be conversant in the word of God but not live life by the word of God.
The majority of the acclaimed believer confesses as a believer but not live life by the word of God.
What kind of a believer are you?
Are you a believer in truth to the heart, or are you an unbelieving believer whose act is in the mouth but not rooted in the heart?
Believing God is not only in the confession with the mouth but seeking God diligently.
Prayer for today: Ask that God will enable you to live life as a believer.
