God at Work

Unbelievers scare me because at times they try to fly the banner of Christ but if one looks closer at the banner one can see its made up of lewd acts strung together and a mockery of the cross at the center. They dare fly the banner all the while disobeying God's word. God calls us to holiness. Are believers supposed to look like the world, act like the world, and love the world? God says clearly those that love the world do not have the Father. Circumstances that are hard come to the life of unbelievers and believers alike. Yet believers (meaning those who are new creations through the abiding work of Jesus Christ) see this as a trial meant to draw them closer to God, for His glory. To unbelievers its an inconvenience God should take away. Some protest Jesus is my savior a friend told me something along these lines they call His savior but He is not their Lord. Those He has saved have Him as Lord their banner was made by Christ in a glowing radience no human can make. We are saved by an innocence not our own. WE NEED CHRIST! If you don't depend on Him what makes one think He has saved you? Everyone needs the salvation purchased by Christ on the cross. The question is if God saved you how can you remain the same.
