Be Real!

So many go through the religious motions without having a real spiritual encounter with God. Indeed many church members believe that to be possible for certain special people…not them.

Our Christianity is to be real, a relationship with a living God. If that seems strange or unreal to you, you may be missing out big time. In this season in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we must go beyond the sentimental, the historical, and embrace the dynamic realities of a relationship with God.

After all, that was the point. Jesus came, lived, died and arose alive again so we could be reconciled with God, could have a personal dynamic relationship with a real living God.  So when my heathen friends say “Be Real!” meaning “Don’t believe in God.” I have to decline their view of “real”.

My life was transformed by a real God. He’s done real miracles for me. I’ll be real. My Christianity can’t be a Sunday only thing. It must be an every moment of every day thing, a real thing. If it is not, what’s the point? Do we have a relationship with the Almighty just to play religious games? Of course not. We have a relationship with the Almighty to give us the God kind of life which we can share with one another. Now that is real.

How wonderful to know a real God not just a theoretical one! He’s real. And we are Alive because of Him. Be sure to enjoy your relationship with a real, a wonderful God, this Holiday season.
