Really Real??

Lately, my mind has been mulling over something I heard in a series called the Truth Project put out by Focus on the Family. One of the questions that was asked in that series has stuck with me, and I often ponder over it. The question was "Do you really believe that what you believe is really real?" Quite a question, huh? The speaker claimed that if Christians could truly answer yes to this question, they would change the world. And at the very least, their lives would be radically different than those of non-Christians.

So, what sorts of things come to mind as you think about this question? For me, I first think about my belief that God created the heavens and the earth. If I really believed this, then I would realize how powerful God is - much more powerful than anyone or anything on this earth, including Arnold Schwarzenegger! He put the stars in place - stars much bigger than our own sun! And when it comes to inventions, Thomas Edison has nothing on God. Before Edison even considered the light bulb, God said "Let there be light" - and that light has been working since the creation of the world, without a single power outage! And even though Shakespeare has created many great works of literature, the book that God wrote (the Bible) has sold countless more copies and been read by countless more readers.

If I had the chance to spend some time with any of these three guys, I would rearrange my schedule to make it happen. According to my description of God above, He blows these guys out of the water, but I can't remember the last time I rearranged my schedule to spend some time with Him. It seems that He just gets my time when it is convenient for me. It kind of makes me wonder if I really believe my own description of God.

And I claim to believe that we are all sinners, and that we are all doomed to hell unless we believe that Jesus paid for those sins with His death. That means that every person I meet will either be spending eternity in heaven or in hell. And then the Bible says "how can someone believe if they have not heard, and how can they hear if someone has not told them?" This means that humans are to play a part in helping people get to heaven. If I really believed that telling people about Jesus may help them to avoid the agony and suffering awaiting them in hell, would I not do it more often?

My mouth says that I believe one thing, but my actions often say something else. What is the better indicator of what I truly believe - my words or my actions?

Many other things that I profess to believe run through my mind as I ponder this question. But instead of going on further, I ask you to ponder with me. Do you really believe that what you believe is really real? What do not only your words, but your actions, say about what you really believe?
