My Sedentary Lifestyle.

Last night, in the CE fellowship, a brother in the Lord (which I considered used by God) told me about representing Christ and living the Bible. He said that those who know much about God and His Word are accountable for what they know. They are also accountable for the people that will stumble because of them. So it is important to live the Bible.

As far as I can remember, I seriously gave my heart to the Lord late 2001 but I had understand a lot about Christianity and relationship with Jesus prior to that year.
For a span of 4-5 years as a believer, it is only this day that I got a better understanding about being accountable to God with my actions. I begun to re-evaluate my actions and saw that people may have stumbled because of me. I have embraced the thought that God is forgiving so much that there are times that I compromise my testimony as a believer and have misrepresent Jesus to the people.

Those who have seen and experienced the light should not act as if they are still in darkness.
I am accountable.

As a balance to this thought, another brother (who again, I considered used by God) explained how we must not focus on a person since if we do this, it is very likely that we will stumble. We need to put our focus on God and not on men. Men will fail us, pastors will fail us, priests will fail us but God will never fail us.

In conclusion, as a believer, we are all accountable in our actions and we must see to it that we are not a stumbling block for other believer to grow but rather let us allow ourselves to be used by God to bless others. Also, we should not base our committment or faith to God in people, people are too imperfect to be a based on. They will fail us no matter how perfect they may look in the outside. They are just like us looking up to God for help. They also have issues and stuggles on their own. So as the Bible say, "We look unto Jesus the Auhtor and Finisher of our faith."
