FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0Can you identify the kind of a believer you are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew 5:1-15<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>What kind of a believer are you?
What is your walk like before God?\u00a0
Does your character communicate your claim as a believer in God?
One walking before God is evidence of one living by the word of God.
One walking is also one working before God.
Are you a cold, hot, or lukewarm believer before God?
Revelation 3:15-16\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>records the word of God in response to the work of all:\u00a0I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.<\/em><\/strong>
By the scriptural verse above, it is clear enough that there is no middle ground in every word of God.\u00a0
As an acclaimed believer, you are either one who contributes to the earth as a preserver or one that does not contribute but takes a position of a non-preserver (destroyer).\u00a0
What kind of a believer are you?
Jesus identifies that just as salt preserves food, so should believers be the salt of the earth preserving the earth.
Are you a preserving believer, a lukewarm believer, or a hot or cold believer?
A believer should be the one bringing impacting changes to the word, preserving the decaying world of sin and iniquity.\u00a0
The world is changing believers because believers adapt to the wicked world but do not evangelize the world.
Believers are not to be changed by the affairs of this world.\u00a0
Answering as a believer is not enough by going to church or knowing to quote the word of God fluently as a believer.
Most believers today want to be quiet in their walk with the excuse of not wanting to offend anyone with what they believe.
Think about this: How can it be that food coming out of the kitchen with salt should be tasteless?
Jesus said in\u00a0Matthew 5:13, \u201cYou 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\u201d<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0
A kitchen producing tasteless and unacceptable food is evidence that salt has lost its flavor.\u00a0
The salt that is not effective has lost its purpose.\u00a0
Such salt becomes waste and is due to be thrown away.\u00a0
According to Jesus, a thrown-away salt becomes an underfoot material.\u00a0
What kind of salt are you?\u00a0
Are you one that is bold in quoting the word of God without Godly character to back your quotation or claim as a believer?\u00a0
Believers of the word are to be salt that seasons their world with godly and acceptable contributions.\u00a0
Live life as a preserving agent according to the word of God.
Live life for God to be identified as a believer of the word of God.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
