THE REAL DEAL

Nothing is more important for those who own homes along the Italian Rivera than to have a balcony. Those who do not have a balcony have an image of one painted on their house. They want to give the impression that they have what others have – a place where they gather to view the Rivera.

“Painted-on balconies” are designed to give an illusion of the “real deal.” From a distance they may look real. But when viewed closely, they are false – they are “pretend” balconies.

Many individuals want to give the impression that they are Christians – the real deal. But when observed closely, they too have “painted-on balconies.” The Living Bible talks about “pretenders.” Writing to the Thessalonians, Paul said, “Check up on yourselves. Are you really a Christian? Or are you just pretending to be Christians when actually you are not at all?”

“Pretenders” only deceive themselves. Whatever is “painted-on” will some day be seen for what it is or will fade away completely. Faith is like that. If it is real, it will be evidenced in our lives.

Prayer: Lord, sometimes I know that my faith is not the real thing. Help me not to deceive myself: In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Scripture for Today:
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10.
