From the time they sprout, wheat and tares look very similar. In fact, it is only as they begin to mature that the differences become evident.
So too, it is possible to look like a Christian, but to actually be a counterfeit. Every church has members who look the part, but inwardly don’t trust fully in Jesus as their only hope.
Paul told the members of the church at Corinth, “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!”
Examine yourself. Are you trusting fully and solely in Jesus Christ for salvation? Ask the Holy Spirit to illumine you on this. If you are not fully trusting, it’s not too late to give it all to Jesus.
Prayer prompts and discussion starters:
- Plead with the Lord to fully reign and rule in your heart.
- Ask Him to show you any areas where you have not been willing to fully trust and follow Him. Repent of these things.
- Ask the Lord to cause His church to grow in maturity, so real fruit will be evident.
- Ask Him to bring about a great revival in your heart, in your church, and in the church worldwide.
- Ask the Lord to help you grow in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Ask Him to do works of transformation that only He can do.
