Christians are known by their fruits… We see it they show up on special Sunday’s, C and E Christians,Christmas and Easter. Or every now and then when one might need something from our Lord. Now I am not saying everyone that only shows up on Sunday are in this boat, I understand working and even getting around sometimes is hard. I am talking to those that hope that is enough to get them in.

Learning that we can not walk with one foot as a Christian and the other in the world. That is like playing football and being on the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys at the same time. However when they meet in a game you are on one side or the other can not be both.
We need to understand that being a Christian is a 24/7 365 (or 366 on leap year) thing. Being a Christians is an all time thing. We are to be a light to a lost world living in the dark. Light can shine in the dark and show what is hidden however dark can not hide light. A single match can be seen from the length of 3 total football feels.
A Commandment
Being a Christian is follow Jesus and He told us what to do in Matthew 28:18-20 (MEV) 18 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
We Are To Teach Them
To observe ALL THINGS that He as commanded us. My question is do we know all thing she has commanded us. We have to know it ourselves before we can teach it to others. So how do we do that 2 Timothy 2:15 (MEV) Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who need not be ashamed,rightly dividing the word of truth.
We Must Know Before We Can Teach
Rightly dividing the world of truth that tells me there is a wrongly way of dividing it and I am afraid the one day a week christians are the one guilty of that one…
Walking In The Spirit
Galatians 5:16-18 (MEV) 16 I say then,walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. These are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
Fruits Of The Spirit
Galatians 5:22-25 (MEV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness,goodness, faith, 23 meekness, and self-control; against such there is no law. 24 Those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Fruits Of The World Or The Enemy (satan or devil)
Galatians 5:19-21 (MEV) 19 Now the works of the flesh are revealed, which are these: adultery, sexual immorality, impurity, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife,jealousy, rage, selfishness, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I previously warned you, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
