The world is full of us who profess a love for God. We are always saying, writing or posting on the various social networks scriptures and various other religious quotations, so others will read them and believe we are saved. But it is not important for others to believe we are saved, as long as they know there is a savior. The purpose of our salvation is to lead others to believe in Jesus, by lifting Him up in all that we do and say.
Many claim to have said yes to Jesus, but have yet to surrendering to Him their hearts. What we might want in life might not be what God has planned for us. The surrendering of our hearts to Him is saying "not my will but thy will be done". What God has for us is better and more than we could ever want for ourselves. Here in our text Jesus says we honor Him with our lips but with the way we live our life we honor the god of this world. How can we say He has all power and yet live as though we are powerless. How can we claim Him as our shepherd and yet live and worry about the things we need. Without faith it is impossible to please God, we must trust and believe He will do just what He said.
We must be careful not to worship the blessings more than the blessor. It is when we give Him our hearts that He will give us eternal life. He doesn't want our best He wants our all, as He gave us His all. Honor the Lord with your heart and they will believe the testimony of your mouth.
