The difference between religious Christian and believer Christian....

Matthew 23:25-28 NKJV

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.  Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.  Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

Shalom! Day #292. Do you know that there is difference between religious Christian and believer Christian? Let's pray. Father, search our heart's this day and lest we be found to be a hypocrite. Father,  we do not want to just please You outwardly, but from inside out for You. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Being a believer, we must not be like the Pharisees and scribes.. Jesus harshly rebukes those groups of people. They tend to be neat and tidy outwardly but inwardly there is piles of rubbish in them. As I said,  there are two group of Christians. The religious Christian and the believer Christian. The religious Christian,  they tend to abide to all rules and regulations set by man, precepts upon precepts  they follow, every traditional things they do, outwardly they seems to be doing so very good. They go to church on Sunday's,  yet in the evening they have drinking party. They do everything just to make sure they are clean outwardly yet inwardly they fail to take care of the cleanliness of their heart, the temple of the Holy Spirit.

If the outside of the cup is dirty it's ok, but see first the inside of the cup before you pour in anything to drink. Look into our inward being are we being so religious tied up to all rules and regulations of man, instead of trying to please God,  we are pleasing man! Religious Christian is divided into 3 main groups, christian for name sake, religious Christian and generational Christian. Whereas believer Christian is only one, the born again Christian. Yet in the born again Christian there are still some tied to superstitious traditional ways. The teachings of Jesus is simple. He is only asking us to imitate what He has done and live according to it, be it in personal life or as well as in ministry and market place. He said we would do great and mighty things through Him and in Him name. Stop being a hypocrite and live your life honestly and with all truthfulness before God and man.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
