“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.” (v. 20)

Too many so-called Christians are all talk.

They can tell you where they were baptized way back when. They can tell you which church still has their membership on file. They can tell you about their general moralism and conservatism, and they can tell you about their occasional generosity.

But there is little evidence of the transformative grace of Christ. There is little evidence of their submission to His lordship. There is little evidence of dependent prayers and deliberate mission and dedicated worship.

Too many so-called Christians live a life that is totally absent of His power, which comes by grace through faith.

And, where there is no power, it’s all talk.

Which kind of Christian are you?
