Labels

2 Corinthians 11:13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

Do you read the labels and then trust that what is in the container is the same that is on the label? Now if you have a spray bottle in the kitchen and it tells you that it is cleaner ‘X’ which is a detergent safe to use on the comforter that you want to clean spots off, will you not just use it? Then when you have used it you find out that this had been emptied and filled with oven cleaner, it becomes a little bit of a problem. So when you change the contents of the bottle, make sure that what is in it, is visible to others, never presume they know.

In the same way we get different kinds of churches which on the outside and according to their label they claim to be Christian and claim to follow the correct apostolic doctrines based on the Bible. Yet when you come across the contents they are simply not what they claim to be. The test of the product is how close it is to what it claims it can be, and that what they claim to do, they do. The claim of a true Christian is that they love God and show this by pleasing God through loving one another.

Be encouraged today to make sure that your label is true to you.

Point to ponder: Be what you claim to be.

Question to consider: Do you wear false labels?
