There
are three clues that a believer is in
the process of backsliding. The first is
the most obvious clue.
#1.
Over-extended - A pattern of complaining
is the norm. This one is
dangerous when tolerated... because there is the
provocation to trust in one's own
ability. It only gets darker.
#2. Over-estimating the power of
circumstances. A pattern of
procrastinating is a means of escape.
This one creates a pattern of lying.
#3. Under-estimating God's
promises. A pattern of self-abuse and
condemnation and that of others.
Bitterness is free to do its dirty work.
What is the answer to this dreadful
and deceitful way of living?
HONESTY!
First John 1:5; 2:1,2
Compels One To Be Honest...
1. Expose
Sin In The Light - vs. 1:5,8
2. Express
Sin To The Lord - vs. 1:9,10
3. Expel
Sin From Your Life - vs. 2:1,2
One
of the prevalent challenges for the
Christian is the need for inward
honesty. To resist this challenge is to
guarantee our undoing. Inward honesty
must become a perpetual confession of
our helplessness (2
Corinthians 12:9).
As Christians, we
acknowledge the grace of God as our
total sufficiency. This is why we have
peace in a world that is falling to
pieces.
Honestly,
we know that our entire life is wrapped
up in the grace of God. Concession to
this divine reality breeds a
Christ-centered determination to
live holy. It is the graciousness of
God that prevails even when we are
wavering in difficult times. Being
honest inwardly is the only peaceful way
to enjoy true communion with our Savior. Honesty with the Lord always finds the
graciousness of God as the only
attraction for lasting satisfaction. Today! Just be honest with Christ. He is
forever inclined to help and forgive
you.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
