Are you concerned about the Spiritual health of your brothers and sisters?
Do you think because someone is a member of your assembly that they have a good grasp of their salvation in Christ?
Or because someone comes on Sunday, or to any studies, or Bible activities in your church building that they are safely living their new life of Christ in the world?
God shows us that just by asking a few simple questions, we can find out the spiritual health of a fellow believer. To know this, read the gospels and the book of Acts to see how the many gifts of God are used to bring people to know Jesus and His death on the cross. It was for their Spiritual needs; the immanent necessity of knowledge to obtain the righteousness given by Jesus' death on the cross.
God has more concern for the spiritual health of His people than their physical needs.
"Therefore, do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you" Matthew 6:31-33
- We trivialize the cross of Jesus Christ by making it pretty.
- We make the cross of Jesus Christ frivolous by making it a symbol.
- We accessorize the cross of Jesus Christ as what God did from love.
The cross of Jesus Christ is the wrath of God.
"The only ground on which God can forgive us is the tremendous tragedy of the cross of Christ; to put forgiveness on any other ground is in unconscious blasphemy."
Oswald Chambers: My Utmost for His Highest
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge" Proverbs 1:7
"Bear one another's burdens , and so fulfil the law of Christ" Galatians 6:2.
(Jesus said), "This is My commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you" John 15:12
Ask a few questions to see how your brothers and sisters in Christ are doing in their Christian walk and help them where they need strengthening.
