IN love or IN religion?

I can no longer be content to have “religious moments” or “Sunday morning Christianity” and still expect the dynamic nature of Christ to be expressed through my life.  The test is before you and me. The utility of our faith is demonstrated in how we live out our life. We must yield to God completely. We must let the authenticity and genuineness of our relationship with God overflow into the physical manifestation of every relationship we have, whether they are just casual and passing acquaintances, your best friend, or any other type of relationship that falls in the spectrum of person-to-person interaction. We must understand that we are in relationship with people that we may never physically interact with. The living Gospel of Christ is communicated to the living through a living relationship with Jesus. We must focus on communicating the hope of Christ through relationships because this is how God did and does it. If God uses relationships as His method of communication, it must be the best medium. 
 
By no means should we focus on our relationship with non-believers before we concern ourselves with the sharing the Gospel with them.  Rather, the sincere compelling of the blood of Jesus should be communicated with every part of our interpersonal interaction.  It is about reaching someone, even if it is only one with the Gospel.  Because of His mercy on us we are obligated to communicate the blessing of a right relationship with God that He desires to share with all mankind. When we get a good deal on items for our home or wardrobe we talk about it like it is the best thing since sliced bread. Why don’t we talk about Jesus like this? The most effective Gospel communication begins with treasuring our relationship with Jesus like it is the best thing happening in our lives. Yes we need to love people-but I think we also need a little Jesus pride. When we are in love-we don’t care who knows it!
