Intentional, Not Additional
This week’s journal content comes from the website What Christians Want to Know. In particular, the content comes from the article “Being Intentional in Our Christian Walk: 7 Ways to Live with Purpose” by Robert Driskell (lightly edited).
Too many people think that Christianity is a passive faith. They believe the duty of a believer ends when one recites a prayer of commitment or fills out a card at a revival meeting. Those who think this way will often simply resume the same lifestyle they had been living before being ‘saved’, except now they believe that they are right with God. However, living the Christian life is much more than merely signing a card or saying a simple prayer. There is much more to the life of a Christ-follower.
It should be every Christian’s desire to live actively and intentionally for Jesus. Our conduct reflects on our Lord; and we should want to be the best representatives for Jesus we can be. … the seven points presented in this [journal] can be used as a starting point for living the full sanctified life of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is worthy to be worshiped.
