It is so wonderful when God mold us unto His image, in good times and trial (testing) times.
So that we may put this world behind and bring forth Jesus Christ.

Our Eschatology may vary even our Ecclesiology may be disputed among us but our Soteriology most assume a singularity and exclusivity which in biblical term is known as Quote; "The Narrow Way" and Quote!

Great post and great topic.
Once God saves us we can't just sit back and wear Christianity like a badge of honor, we have to do something with it. God made us a part of the Body of Christ so that Jesus could continue ministering to people here in the world.
![[Bible]](graemlins/bible.gif)
Eph 2:10 God has made us what we are. He has created us in Christ Jesus to live lives filled with good works that he has prepared for us to do.
This country is in the shape it is in because of copesetic christians leading apethetic lives. People are claiming "Great Faith" while showing "Fruitless Works"
Jam 2:14 What good does it do, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but does not have any works? This kind of faith cannot save him, can it?
15 Suppose a brother or sister does not have any clothes or daily food
16 and one of you tells them, "Go in peace! Stay warm and eat heartily." If you do not provide for their bodily needs, what good does it do?
17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it does not have any works, is dead.

The real issue is, will we produce something vital enough to bring real transformation to the world, or simply something just “Christian” enough to gain notoriety but so weak that it only provides an inoculation against the real thing god surely desires to bring? ![[Cross]](graemlins/cross.gif)
