A Personal Relationship

Matthew 15:8 "This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,and honoureth me with their lips;but their heart is far from me."

We have become a very impersonal world.We live in a world where personal contact seems to be a thing of the past.We bank at machines, pay our bills via the phone and computers,and even socialize through what is known as the social media.It is as though people no longer desire to have personal relationships any more.We date on web sights,shop on line and in many cases our religious worship is on of the television ministries or even on the internet.But I ask you, do you have a personal relationship with Jesus the Christ?

There are many who know of Jesus but have no real relationship with the Lord.Jesus said with our mouth we do honor Him but our hearts are far from Him.See with our words we talk about the Lord. We confess how good He is, how He keeps us and is blessing us with material blessings.We talk about how we are save, sanctified and filled with the Holy Ghost, and how much we love the Lord. But do we truly have a relationship with the Lord of glory.Now this is a question that only you can answer for yourself,so this is not to question anyones salvation.But ask yourself this question,will the life you live, lead a lost soul to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God, and that He can save all who believes from the penality of sin.Does your life reflect the power of God over sin and hatred, and show the love of God to those who see you.Can the deaf man see what the blind man hears.Does your walk match your talk?

It is great to talk about the good news of Christ.It is a great thing to share with a lost world all the wonderful things that God has done for you and with you,after all faith comes by hearing.But just think about how great things would be if we actually lived the life we talk about.If we truly lived life like we had a personal relationship with Jesus.
