Let's Unite the Body of Christ! In one accord let's stop doubting our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Trust the LORD and His Word! The Discernment of the Holy Spirit will reveal who is or isn't a true Christian by the fruit of their spirit (Matthew 7:20). BUT until that revelation is done, let's make sure the Body of Christ is still functioning and that we don't cast judgement against each other and the royalty that abides in us!
Is it so difficult to give our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ the benefit of the doubt? Jesus does it for us everyday! Fighting and interceding for us in the Heavenly Courts! (John 17:20-26) Despite our sins, God gave us the benefit of the doubt -- hoping that we would accept His Son, Jesus Christ, as our Lord and Savior -- and give the verdict of Innocent when He knew we were Guilty. He could have placed His wrath upon us, but He was patient with us, waiting for us, and praying for us.
Beloved, it's time we do the same. Instead of saying, "He's not a real Christian because he's cheating on his girlfriend" or "She's not a real Christian because she's always getting into fights", why don't we pray? Pray for the Body of Christ, that is so injured and divided that only God can repair it. (1 Timothy 2) Be patient with your fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ, because not too long ago were you not in their same position? A baby in Christ trying to do right by God?
I encourage you to ask our Heavenly Father for forgiveness. Repent from judgemental thoughts and actions. (Luke 6:37) Ask for a clean heart, a loving spirit, and a sound mind. Know that God is taking care of your Brothers and Sisters in Christ just like he has or is taking care of you.
Not one is perfect before the Lord . . . Only through Jesus Christ, the perfect lamb. (Romans 3:23-24)
Love in Christ,
Christians Unite
