IS IT ABOUT YOU OR ABOUT JESUS?

It's a true saying that you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar. When it comes to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are supposed to be talking about Jesus Christ and his sacrifice on the cross and the Holy Spirit that he sent back on the day of Pentecost. Nothing cringes my heart more than to see and hear people pointing out their goodness, holiness(mainly referring to how they dress or don't dress). And how they are so right in the eyes of God. True, saints should look, act, talk, think, dress, and be different from the world, but when you hear more about what a person does or does not do or wear that makes them holy, then I'm afraid they have already missed the mark because they have taken the glory off of Jesus and his righteousness and put it on themselves. There's so much work for the saints (THE REAL SAINTS) to do that we don't have time for self righteousness, hypocrisy, and slothfulness. One deceptive category that many people fall into is that if they present themselves in the manner of other people and other saints and meet all the requirements of the rules and regulations then they are heaven bound and pleasing in God's sight too. Not so!!!! GOD knows what lies in the deep crevices of our hearts that we can hide and cover up from other people. A truly humble child of God would stay at the feet of Jesus almost refusing to look up because he/she knows that they are not worthy of his love, Grace, and forgiveness. But a proud person will boldly look you in the face and proclaim that they know they are holy and going to heaven, not so much because of what Jesus done, but because of what THEY do or don't do . How sad. It's the blood of Jesus that makes us righteous and because we believe and receive his purpose for dying on the cross, we will seek after him and his righteousness, get filled up with his Holy Ghost power to walk as lights shining in dark places of this world. God resists the proud, but gives Grace to the humble!!!
