Are you a Christian?

Only 6% of Americans hold a biblical worldview. If that number is accurate, we have to ask ourselves, “Is it possible to be a Christian without a biblical worldview?” Isn’t belief enough? Even the demons in hell believe in God. It should be obvious to those around you that you are a Christian, and if it isn’t, you need to ask yourself why.

Since the pandemic, many people who consider themselves to be Christians are living for the world or living in fear. When we have faith in God and we’re living for Him, there is no room for that kind of fear. So, how do we know if we’re doing the will of the Father?

Welcome back to Ignite. I wanted to deal with this subject of being a Christian and read the question being, are you a Christian in God's eyes? That's a serious question for millions of people who call themselves quote unquote Christians. You know, only 6% of Americans have a biblical worldview. Now, did you get that? Only 6% of Americans hold a biblical worldview. Now, I'm not sure if you can not hold a biblical worldview and still be a Christian, so I don't know where you are in that. I just just saying. I know the scriptures say, if you can fast with your mouth and believe you will be saved, not of works less than you should boast, and yet we're saved for good works. So, so what are you doing for God? I don't mean to queuingly, but think about it for you. So, actually, what am I doing for God? It's not enough to believe. It's just not. James 2.9 says, the demons in hell believe that Jesus sent a God and they trouble. So, where are you in this equation? That's what I've asked you. During the pandemic and sense of, we've just seen millions of Christians who believe their Christians, but they're living for the world and then they're afraid of the world. If you're a Christian, people should know that you're a Christian in 10 minutes. They should see your joy. They should see your freedoms. You're excited about what's going on. Is that happening in your life? Here's the problem. If you believe in Jesus, you'll live for him. Not really a problem. I guess it's just a fact. When you believe in Jesus, you'll live for him. If Jesus is your Lord, you'll live for him. Satan has overcome the world overwhelmingly, but for real Christians, we have no fear. I mean, literally, you can kill me to live as Christ and to die as gain. I often think, if somebody's going to rate a shoot me, what's my reaction going to be? Find something to shoot him back or attack him or whatever. I don't know. He's a soul. I try to get a lot of fracking this, but everybody's a soul. All of the bad people that we call bad, they're just lost. They're not really bad people. They're lost people. Quite frankly, if we didn't have the light, we could be on their side of the equation. When somebody's trying to kill me, I kind of think I'm going to say, well, before you pull that bullet, before you shoot away a horn, this is like, I want to tell you something. Do you know God learns you? The point is, when you're living for God in His purpose, there's no fear. There's no fear. That's part of the Christian experience. If you're living in fear, you got a question, are you really a Christian? I guess fear is telling God, I don't trust you, God. It's lack of faith. And of course, without faith, it's impossible. Please, God. So I can keep coming back to the same theme. And then it's crazy. Most of you watch you right now on a good part of your Christian. And by the way, you may not be a Christian and may not want to be a Christian because of how those Christians are living, okay? Do you know where all sinners saved by grace? None of us are perfect. None of us are. We're saved by grace through faith. None of us are worthless, any man should boast. So you're not supposed to compare yourself to anybody else anyway. It really just has to do with your relationship with Jesus Christ. But if you are a Christian, you need to ask yourself again, are you a Christian in God's eyes or are you just going through the motions? The statistics would suggest that there are millions of us who are going through the motions. Proverbs 14, 12 says there's a way, there's a way that seems right under man, but the end thereof is death. That's that's judgment. You don't want to go there. Matthew 7, there's a scripture he says, to those who've been casting out demons and doing all kinds of things, he says, not everyone who says to be Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom, but those who do my will. There are people in the church today doing things for their will and they're getting a lot of popularity for it. But if you listen to what they're saying, you start to find that there's a different story going on and it's fleshly and they're living for themselves and you don't want to go there. So the question is, are you doing the world of the Father? Are you living for God? And if so, I got to tell you that. Well, good night, you life.
