In this episode, Allen and I discuss privilege and obligation in our Christianity.
We talk about our thoughts on the matter and questions that come up in social circles about Christians.
Do we behave like we are privileged because we are Christians or do we treat our Christianity as an obligation?
It is a privilege to be a Christian, not a right. God freely gives His grace, unlimited favor, for all that we have done as sinners. But we must choose that - it is not a guarantee just because we are human.
Not everyone will accept Jesus Christ as their savior. Not everyone will believe on Him. Not everyone will believe He is God.
Do we treat our Christianity as an obligation or a role to fulfill because of family tradition or because we don’t know any better? Do we check the boxes of religion because we have an obligation?
What are your obligations to the Kingdom of God as a Christian?
Do we think we are privileged because we are Christians? Do you think we are “owed” something for being “good” or better than someone else? What should we deserve for being sinners?
We can look at being a Christian in two ways. Do we act like being a Christian brings us privelege? Or, do we believe we are obligated to bring glory to the Kingdom of God?
Don't ever be ashamed to ask about things you don't understand. Go to God in prayer, ask for answers to be revealed to you, stay in God's will and read your bible.
We aren't perfect and we don't profess to be, far from it actually - keep that in mind as you listen to our stories. If you are spending more time picking apart our messages, your spending too much time on the wrong things. Put your focus back on God.
Read Your Bible. Pray. Surround Yourself with Like-Minded Christians. Gather with Two or More in His Name.
