False Messenger by Johnpele: 1:46am On Jan 13, 2015
Today, many people call themselves Christians, even if they aren’t necessarily trying to follow everything
Jesus commanded. As Christians, we
are all messengers/witnesses that fall
into one of the two categories – false
or true messenger.

Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes upon
you. And you will be my witnesses,
telling people about me everywhere.”

So many people say that Christians
are the people that are full of pride,
selfishness, and greed. I especially
made sure of that after doing interviews of random people on the
streets for ‘A Voice’

. So many people have a wrong view
of Christianity just because someone
called himself a Christian and was a
false messenger. Not necessarily by
words, but by actions he had redefined the true meaning of this word for someone. Imagine if John the Baptist didn’t explain God to people correctly or if Apostle Paul misunderstood Him, just like church during Dark Era…

This is why for us, Christians, it is
crucial to be and example of real
Christianity that is filled with love,
compassion, joy, generosity, etc.
The biggest misrepresentation of
Jesus Christ was made by Christians
themselves, those Christians that
never knew Christ personally.

John 14:9 “Jesus replied, “Have I
been with you all this time, Philip,
and yet you still don’t know who I
am?”

We can walk step by step with God
Himself. We can go to church all our
lives, yet it doesn’t mean that we know
God, just how it happened with Philip.

This is the most dangerous state of
being of a so called Christian. This is
when we can easily become false
messengers who are calling
themselves Christ followers, yet never
knowing the One they follow. This is
when we can negatively redefine the
great meaning of the only true God.

But how to be a true messenger of
God? I think there’s only one way.

In order to be an example of a true
meaning of this religion we need to
long to have a character of Jesus. Just
imagine it, when having a character of
Jesus, you will never ever
misrepresent Him, because you’ll be
like Him (and we are called to be just
like that.) When you live not by flesh,
but by spirit – you are Christlike.

1 Corinthians 2:11-15

“No one can know a person’s
thoughts except that person’s own
spirit, and no one can know God’s
thoughts except God’s own Spirit.

12 And we have received God’s Spirit
(not the world’s spirit), so we can
know the wonderful things God has
freely given us.

13 When we tell you these things,
we do not use words that come
from human wisdom. Instead, we
speak words given to us by the
Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to
explain spiritual truths.

14 But people who aren’t spiritual can’t
receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others.

So, if you realized that sometimes by
your actions or words you’ve been a
false example of Jesus and Christianity, it is time to hit your knees,
ask God to forgive you, and make a
choice to never do that again!
