Remember, How We Live Matters

In this powerful message, we're reminded of a sobering truth from Matthew 7:21-23 - not everyone who claims to follow Christ will enter the kingdom of heaven. This challenges us to examine our faith beyond surface-level actions. The gospel isn't a 'golden ticket' to heaven, but an invitation to a transformed life. We're called to live in relationship with God, participating in the 'divine dance' of the Trinity. This isn't about self-improvement, but about union with Christ. The qualities Peter lists in 2 Peter 1:5-7 are steps in this dance, showing us how to live with and for God. As we engage in this dance, our faith becomes active and fruitful, keeping us from stagnation and on the path of eternal life. Let's reflect: Are we truly living with God, or merely going through religious motions?
