“As in water face reflects face, the heart of man reflects the man.” -Proverbs 27:19
What does the reflection of your heart look like? Do others see Christ in you?
We call ourselves Christians but are we really reflecting the way of Jesus Christ in our lives?
This is a question that we should constantly be asking ourselves- Do we look like Christ? Do we act like Him?
“17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20But ye have not so learned Christ;
21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” -Ephesians 4:17-24
This verse is saying that we ought not live like the Gentiles, in other words… that we are not to live like the unsaved! We have been taught about Christ’s righteousness and His holiness by our parents and teachers… Are we reflecting these attributes in our lives?
Verse 22 says, “ put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires” and instead live for Christ!
Desire His goodness and grace and let Jesus Christ shine through you!
