God's Plan Of Eternal Salvation

“A very stressed-out woman was tailgating a man driving down a busy street. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see; I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do?’ bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car."

While I can’t confirm if this story is true, it just goes to show that someone else has thought about the same issue of demonstrating what we believe. I have witnessed a large increase in people professing to be Christians and at the very same time these same people display few or none of the characteristics of a Christian. How many people have you encountered on the highways with Christian symbols and bumper stickers on their cars that drive like angry devils? How ironic it is to have a Christian bumper sticker, or symbol on your car and drive like you have no regard at all for the life of fellow human beings! What this amount to is false advertising in the eyes of God. I realize that no one is perfect, but doesn’t the world have the right to expect Christians to be different? Christians have been changed. We are different. Remember, Salvation is a simple as ABC and D. Acknowledge in the head; Believe in the heart; Confess with the mouth; and Demonstrate in the lifestyle.
