ARE YOU WITH CHRIST?

ARE YOU WITH CHRIST? Are you with Christ In this world? Are you his disciple? NOT just in words-but in Actions- You have to do BOTH To be his disciple LOVE GOD!-Love others-- Forgive 70x7-and LIVE the BEATITUDES Are you actually doing that? “Jesus said, 'Whoever is not with me Is against me” Luke 11:23 Pay ATTENTION!-Jesus did not say Whoever SAYS he is with me- IS with me Claiming it-does not make it so- You have to PLACE your actions Where your words are To BE JESUS' DISCIPLE Are you with Christ? Are you his disciple? Do you put your ACTIONS Behind your words? “Each one Should TEST their own actions Then they can take PRIDE In themselves alone Without comparing themselves To someone else For each ONE Should carry their own load” Galatians 6:4-5 And maybe even ENCOURAGE some others And HELP someone else CARRY their load IF-they need Some extra help ARE YOU with Christ? Do your actions FOLLOW HIS? He helped us all “They claim to know God But by their actions They deny him They are detestable-disobedient- And unfit for doing anything GOOD” Titus 1:16 IF you are a disciple of Christ LET your word STAND UP for Christ And follow him With your actions “If one of you Says to them, 'Go in peace-keep warm- And well fed' But does NOTHING About their physical needs, What good is it? In the same way FAITH by itself If it is NOT accompanied By action-is dead” James 2:16-17 So I ask you once again- ARE YOU with Christ? Are your WORDS for Christ- BEING FOLLOWED by your actions- and better yet- FOLLOWING CHRIST'S TEACHINGS? Dear Lord-we PLACE our hearts Where yours is Dear Jesus With the poor-the unloved-the powerless- And the neglected We are truly truly yours- Dear Lord- WE truly CALL ourselves YOUR DISCIPLES For WE ARE WITH CHRIST Robert P.
