When a company gets established, it makes a mission statement about its goals and about the ways to achieve those goals.
It is natural for us who are leading a Christian life to ask similar questions about the way to lead a good Christian life.
What are our goals? What are the ways in which we can come closer to Christ?Should there be any change in the way I lead my life?
Once a mother told me that her daughter is no more going to the church and she wanted me to talk with her.Her reply was that no body told her that Christ died for her..it is from the Pentecostals in her prayer group at the college that she had heard about the love of Christ.
We have an obligation to lead a Christian life at home. Our actions, our behavior should conform to our Faith. If we lead a life that is totally alien to the Christian principles, how can one accept our faith?In today's Gospel, Jesus wants us to lead a life that is based on his teachings.If we live by the truths that Jesus has taught us, nothing can shake our faith.
He warns us not to go after false prophets.
We have seen some people taking a part of the Gospel teachings and interpret them according to their individual likes and dislikes. They posit themselves as the judges of right Christan living.
We should live according to the teachings of the Gospel as interpreted and lived by the apostles and their successors.
