CAN A REAL CHRISTIAN BE REVEALED IN A WORLD FULL OF IMPOSTERS?

A CHRISTIAN IS A PERSON WHO HAS ENTRUSTED THEIR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LEADER.

PHILIPPIANS 1: 11

WHILE WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO FOLLOW JESUS AND ALLOW HIM TO CHANGE OUR HEART, LIFE IS HAPPENING TO US, IN US, AND ALL AROUND US!

1 PETER 2:18-21 

TRUE CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ALLOWING ANY CIRCUMSTANCE OR PERSON TO DETERMINE WHO WE ARE, ONLY OUR LEADER, JESUS CHRIST!

1. WE MIGHT ACT AND PRETEND, BUT OUR HEART WILL ALWAYS BE REVEALED IN OUR CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY.

CRUCIBLE- a ceramic or metal container in which metals or other substances may be melted or subjected to very high temperatures.

THE HOTTER THE FIRE, THE GREATER THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE!

JOB 1:20-22 

JOB 2:7-10 

1. THERE IS AN ENEMY WHO IS AN ACCUSER.       REVELATION 12:8-11 

1. OUR FAITH IS ALWAYS TESTED BEFORE OUR CHARACTER!

WHAT YOU BELIEVE WILL ALWAYS DETERMINE HOW YOU LIVE!

WHEN WE BEGIN TO DOUBT THE GOODNESS OF GOD, OUR GODLY CHARACTER IS IN JEOPARDY.

JUST BECAUSE LIFE HAS CHANGED, DOESN’T MEAN I HAVE TO LOSE MY INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER!

1. GODLY INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER ARE CREATED AND STRENGTHENED IN THE FIRES OF LIFE!

1 PETER 1: 7 

1 PETER 4:19 

GOD IS NOT PICKING ON YOU!  HE IS MAKING YOU MORE VALUABLE!

1. LIFE HAPPENS!

CHANGE YOUR FIXATION! DON’T FOCUS ON THE INJUSTICE, FOCUS ON A FAITHFUL GOD.

1. RECOGNIZE THE WEAKNESS!

GIVE IT UP AND EMBRACE THE CHANGE!

1. BUILD YOUR FAITH AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

IF WE WANT TO LIVE IN ETERNITY WITH GOD, WE SHOULD EMBRACE HIS ETERNAL PLAN!
