I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all,who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1-6, ESV)
How many of you are a fan of something? A NBA player? An NFL player? A MLB player? Maybe a college sports team, or a professional team? Maybe a NASCAR driver?
We idolize sports figures and follow their every move and know all of their stats…
But how many stats can you name for Jesus? Can you talk about all of the things that God has done for you? Are you merely a person who gives God some time, or are you committed to the cause?
You see Paul is urging the Ephesians (from prison!) that they should walk in a way fitting for their calling! And you have the same calling as a child of God. Does all of your life point to God? Do people know Monday through Saturday that you are a believer and follower of Christ? Do your actions speak for God or for you? Do your actions show that you follow Christ and you are more than a fan?
You see we are to be the light to the world, not to be hidden under a basket, we are to shine and our every action point to God. We can not show that we are not followers of Christ Monday – Saturday and try to make it up on Sunday. We have to show the world, not make a point of being there on Sunday to check in…
God wants more than a weekly or daily check in, He wants you to give Him your life and let Him have control. So give it up and be more than a fan.
