REALationships
February 24, 2011
There should always be people in our lives that help to strengthen our character and our relationship with God. The Bible says in reference to relationships that iron sharpens iron, and so we need to make sure that we have people who will confront us when we need to be confronted in order so that we may be sharpened. The kind of real relationships with people who will sharpen us is hard to find and we cannot find those relationships until we have a relationships with God. In the same way, we will not be able to truly love others as we love ourselves until we’ve experienced the love that God has for us. We must be healthy horizontally before we can be healthy vertically.

Jesus told a parable about a man with a fig tree that was not growing any figs. Instead of rooting it up, he agreed to have dung put around the bottom of the tree to help it bear fruit. Sometimes our lives start to smell awful and a reason for that is we may not be bearing fruit. God has created us for a purpose – to spread the Gospel. In order to bear fruit it is essential to be passionate about Him, so much so that if someone were to hold a gun to your head you still could not deny Christ. Jesus was passionate about us, even to death, and therefore we must be passionate about Him and spreading His Word.

Too often people think that they can go to church, sit in the “sanctuary,” be in the presence of God and then leave Him there as they go on about the rest of their daily lives. Since Christ came, died and was resurrected, the veil of the temple was torn and things have changed. For believers, our bodies are God’s sanctuary. Everywhere we go we bring Him with us. And when we congregate in a church setting it is more than a weekly dose of the Lord; we are coming together as the Church, the Body of Christ. Since our bodies make up God’s temple, we should treat them accordingly.

In the book of Joshua, God tells Joshua to lead the people through the Jordan River during flood season. He told Joshua that as soon as the feet of the priests leading them touched the water, the river would part and they could walk across. When this happened, God told them to take 12 rocks from the riverbed that they crossed over in order to remember what God had done for them. God calls us to step out in faith sometimes, and it is only when we do so that we get God rocks in our lives for people to look at and see how He did a miraculous work in us and because of what they see they can say, “God rocks!”
