REFINED FAITH

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: REFINED FAITH

1 Peter 1:7 KJV
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

The goldsmith knew that he has pure gold when he can see his reflection in the metal. Our faith should reflect Jesus and reveal Him to a world. As we grow in Christ, we learn more about Him and His love. It is only through a life given to Christ, will we begin to see Him as He really is.
When I got married, I had spent more than five years dating my wife. However, dating, is not being married. There is a deeper stage of learning about each other in marriage. We begin to see each other in a new light. As our faith grows, more about the deeper nature of Christ is revealed to us. The end result of a Christ centered faith is that our lives are shaped and molded by Him.
Our faith begins to reflect that deeper knowledge of Jesus, our lives will begin to change. When you and I live differently, because our faith is growing, those around us will see the difference.

Quite literally, your life begins to reflect the image of Christ. Just as the goldsmith knew he had pure gold, when he looked into the metal and could see his reflection, Jesus desires His reflection in our lives. That can only happen in a refined faith that has been tested.

Brethren, you are reflecting Christ in your daily activities to the world. And you are growing daily as you allow more of him. Don't move away from him.
The more you move close to the mirror the more you see your self clearly,

So let your faith reflect Jesus to the world. Don't forget that faith without work is dead. If you are still afraid of sharing gospel to your friends your faith is not reflecting Jesus enough.

James 2:26 KJV
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
A refined faith is a faith tried, molested, broken and abuses and still stand faithful and. A refined faith is the faith that reflect Jesus life.
Is your faith refined.

LET US PRAY
IN THE NAME OF JESUS MAY YOU BE FIND WORTHY OF GODS GLORY IN JESUS NAME.
