Do My Actions Reflect the Spirit Living in Me?
As a speaker, sometimes you put pressure on yourself by spending time trying to figure out the perfect thing to say that will convince somebody to let Christ into his or her heart. Even those of us who aren’t speakers might wonder how we could ever find the right words that will allow us to properly share our faith. The truth is, our words are powerless, and all of the power in our speech comes from the cross of Christ. If we talk about what he has done for us, our words will have power, but we’re not the ones who give the words the power. It all goes back to what Christ has done for us.
Does the spirit of Christ really live in me? And if so, does the way that I live my life reflect that spirit that I have living inside of me? It’s a high honor to have the spirit of Christ living with you and working through you, and I think that should challenge us to carefully consider our thoughts, words, and actions, to make sure that they reflect that Spirit’s presence with us. I challenge you to ask yourself that same question as you read through this text today - do my actions reflect the presence of the Spirit inside me?
