Closet Christians

CLOSET CHRISTIANS

Are you an undercover Christian? Do you think that the people around you at work or at school or anywhere else would think you were “weird”, if they knew that Jesus Christ is the Savior and the Lord of your life?

In the gospel of John, we read that “many even of the rulers believed in Jesus, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.” (John 12:42-43)

It was mainly in the synagogue that the rulers were plotting how to trap and kill Jesus. Identifying yourself out loud as a “Jesus Person” will save you out of a lot of uncomfortable and tempting situations. It may bring you some scorn, but it also will bring you respect from folk who will admire you for voicing your convictions.

“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary.” (Ps 107:2)

In other words, let the Lord’s redeemed TALK about it!
