When Christ changes us it is not our own efforts that cause a change, Christ changes us, the evidence is our love of the brethren and our love for Christ, is not hidden but clearly visible to others.
If there has not been a change in the way we view life and act, then it was not God Who changed us but only our own arrogance that speaks meaningless and dead words.
If we see someone who is regressing rather than moving forward in love and holiness, then we may be experiencing a professor and not a possessor, one who attempts to be Christian in their own efforts rather than trusting Christ and being changed by Him.
1 John 3:14 "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death."
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
Ephesians 2:10 "10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."
Acts 28:31 "31 preaching the kingdom of God and teaching concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered."
ALL BELIEVERS SHOULD BE GROWING IN HOLINESS, LOVE, KINDNESS, FERVOR FOR THE THINGS OF GOD AND BOLDNESS ABOUT IT ALL!
