Convinced?

The Christian faith has been tested through the years. Many have been found to be false converts. They were well versed in the operations of the church and understood the doctrines of man that allowed them to operate in the offices of a ministry. There were even those who proposed to have special gifts that made them better than most other Christians and closer to God’s heart. Nothing could be further from the truth. God is not a respecter of persons and will not allow an injustice to be brought upon His people without recompense.

The evidence of conversion should prompt us to operate by faith. It should also release a love in our hearts that causes us to love our neighbor. Christ is the fulfillment of the law. We are the fulfillment of the will of God through Christ. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind (Rom. 14:5b). Are you persuaded that you are a Christian? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever lied? Have you ever taken the Lord’s name in vain, meaning to use in the form of a curse word or without any meaning? If you have. You have admitted to being a Thief. You have admitted to being a liar. You have admitted to being a blasphemer. These are very serious. They are crimes against God and He will punish you for them. The punishment is Hell fire and damnation. You don’t believe me? You believe these commandments are outdated or no longer applicable because they are from the Law of Moses? Look here: I John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. You may even say that you are only guilty of breaking one of them. Try this one: James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Attendance at religious facilities throughout the land is at an all time high. More and more are professing to be Christian without the conversion experience necessary for repentance. Paul an Apostle of God called to minister to the gentiles stood before a prominent figure of his day. He gave his account and testified of the challenges he faced due to his commitment to the will of God. He told King Agrippa that he was not just spewing words but that he was actually on a mission to spread the Gospel (The Good News) of Jesus Christ. Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. Are you persuaded?
