MAKE ME GOOD, BUT NOT REAL GOOD
Read 1 John 2:1-6
Read 1 John 2:1-6
One night a mother was shocked to hear her boy pray, “O God, make me good, but not real good; just good enough to keep from being spanked.”
There are some church members who want to become Christians, but not Christlike. They want to go to heaven, but they don’t want to do anything to bring others with them.
But if you’re going to become a Christian, be Christlike. If you’re going to give Christ anything, give Him everything. If you’re going to worship Him, work for Him.
If it’s false, Christianity is of no importance. If it’s true, it’s of infinite importance. It can’t be of moderate importance.
What is it for you?
Prayer: Dear Lord, I have so much to thank Thee for. I thank Thee for making me a Christian, now make me Christlike. I thank Thee for preparing for me a place in heaven. Help me bring others with me: through Christ. Amen.
