God’s Way or man’s way


I have no respect for a gospel that says Christians are supposed to change the world so that the world endures prosperity ( as the world defines prosperity).  The gospel of Christ is first spirit.  If a man will repair his relationship to God all things fall in place.

Indeed let us do good for the sake of our fellow man that he should not suffer undue horror.  But his physical well-being is not our first priority.  We show him love and kindness and meet his needs that he may understand love.  All the while we say to him, “We love because He first loved us.”

There is a push to mimic the work of Christ by men without Christ.  I am forced to reject their premise:  Man first then God.  Christianity is a direct inverse.  God first then man.

I will receive flack for this.  This false gospel has been alive and propagated for hundreds of years.  It has become the standard of man’s righteousness.  But there is a distinct difference between Christianity and the righteousness of man.

Father in heaven I give you great glory for this understanding,  for this arrives in my heart by your hand it is not of my own understanding or interpretation.  Unless you touch a man these things are too high above us. 

By His Grace
