Let’s walk in the confidence of faith
“Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” (2 Chronicles 1:10, NIV)
In this passage on 2 Chronicles, King Solomon asks God for wisdom and knowledge to lead God’s people.
God had just asked Solomon to request whatever he wanted. With the leading role, Solomon humbled his heart. He asked the Lord wisdom and knowledge to lead. God provided that, and beyond.
Immediately something comes to mind…
Can Christians forget their identity? Is this even possible?
I have heard so many people refer to Christians in this way... “If that is to be a Christian, I don’t want to be a Christian.” With “that” they refer to acts of hatred committed by alleged Christians.
And you know what?
I don’t blame them. I don’t, because for a while, I struggled with that very perception too.
There may be various issues here. One issue is those who think that being a Christian is to adopt a religion or a moral set of values. Another one is those who loved what Christ did, and received His message with joy and open arms... but in the walk of life, they forgot Christ.
So the issue we are talking today is that, when we forget Christ, we forget our sense of identity. And in doing so, we fail to portray the very pure love we had received.
