Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

“He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit.” John 15:5

No one who is a Christian is perfect, but there are people who claim to follow Jesus yet are far from His teaching. At the same time, it is dangerous for others to let what they perceive as hypocrisy in others divert them from Christ. Christians will sometimes falter in their walk with Christ, but Christ never falters. We must not put our trust in people. The object of our faith is in Christ alone. Christ never brings disappointment. We grow in Christ not by following other people but by following God’s Word. Understand His teaching and examine His life. We must not get sidetracked with disappointment in others. We must live our lives consistently. We must always ask ourselves if our life reflects the things of Christ: His love, joy, and peace. Jesus Christ is the complete fulfillment, example, and demonstration of perfection. While we will never attain perfection in this life, we are told to walk in His footsteps and strive to please Him in everything we do. This is only possible when we stay connected to the Source of all things good. When a true believer stumbles and sins, God’s Holy Spirit brings conviction and turns the individual to repentance. This is what restores our souls and clears the way for fellowship with Him. We must never put our eyes on people but on God.
