The world is full of people who profess a love for God. They are always saying, writing or posting on the various social networks, scriptures and various other things because they are saved. But it is really not important that world knows that we are saved, the important thing is that the world believes that their is a savior. The sole purpose of our being saved ,is to lead others to believe in Jesus. Jesus said we were chosen to bear fruit and fruit that will last. The world knows what our lips say, but can it see what our hearts are saying?
In the scripture today Jesus speaks of the many who says the right things, their hearts may not be in their profession. In other words the life the world sees may be different from the life they profess to live. When we truly take a close look we might see that our life is more lip service than the heart felt truth. With our mouth we say God is everything, the most important thing, the one thing we can't live without, yet we strive harder and seem to desire the things of this world more than the things of God. Our jobs tend to get the best of our service, while the things of God get what we feel like doing. We seem push our children more toward the secular things, than we do towards the things of God. How many will put up with a spouse with no God, before one with no job? How many of us make our kids go to school, but little to no effort is made when it comes to Sunday school or bible study. If God is truly the head of our life shouldn't it be seen in the decisions we make and the choices we present to the one we love
Now this is not to suggest that we quit encouraging our children to get jobs, or to go to school or any of the things that will help them along in this life. But let us also push and encourage them in the things of God just as hard if not harder. Jesus said "seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you." and besides only what you do for Christ will last
