We all are sinners

There is no such thing as a Christian who doesn’t sin. Critics deride Christians because they don’t live the saintly lives they expect. When people throw that in my face I tell them Christians aren’t perfect but we are forgiven.  Our salvation into the kingdom of God is by grace through faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.  It is the starting point of our walk with God. During our earthly journey God expects us to grow and mature in our faith so we can do the good works He has planned for us to do. Our goal is to sin less over time by asking for God’s help in overcoming sin in our lives.  We should pray to God for the forgiveness for our sins on a daily basis. We need to tell our detractors being a Christian is a journey not a destination.

Eph 2:10 – For we are God’s masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works , which God prepared in advance for us to do.

We know from Scripture that a bird doesn’t fall to the ground unseen by God. We know God sees everything we do and knows what we’re thinking.  That doesn’t really bother us because we know we’re loved by our heavenly Father.   What I find unnerving is we are also under constant observation from the spiritual plane by other supernatural entities, be they angels, demons or Satan himself.  When I contemplate a secret sin before God I must also consider my “other” audience. Satan is a keen observer of our actions, always looking for a weakness. Satan can’t read your mind but he can hear your words so guard your tongue because what you say can and will be used against you. Being aware you’re on the “big stage” of life before an unknown audience should give you motivation to live a holier life.
