The life you live brings credit or discredit
to the work of Jesus and the cross.
Most people think that when they achieve much or gain much
that they are being blessed abundantly.
That is not necessarily so.
That is not how I judge your credentials.
You bring credit or discredit to the work of Jesus
by how much you truly look like Jesus.
Do you love as He loves?
Do you care about My plans as He did?
Are you laying down your life for others as He did?
In how many ways are you like Him?
Even though you may appear to be a successful Christian to others,
even though you fellowship regularly,
even though you do and say the right things,
you will eventually bring discredit to the cross
if you are not continually submitting to
the power of the cross to change your life.
If you do not have My interests as your priority,
if your heart is not on its way to becoming like the heart of Jesus,
you have missed one of the main reasons He died.
That is not good!
