James 1:21 — In direct or Indirect relationship with God? Yes, it matters!

[21]Get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
James 1:21 (NIV)

If God came back at this very moment, pressing pause on all of our lives, what would He find in all aspects of your life? Would the sum of your actions line-up with God’s Word in regards to obedience of His commandments for us all?

Think about it… We don’t know when God is coming back, yet many people choose and decide to live their lives for their god. Yes, I used lowercase god, because if you’re not serving the one and only God (Jesus), then all others are just that, small gods or idols, which cannot save you.

But more importantly after reading James 1:21, I pose the following questions to each of us:

What would your possessions (house or apartment, iPod, vehicle, pc/mac, email account(s), mobile phone, or bank account just to name a few) reveal about your life?

Would it show your heart’s motive was in direct relationship with God, or indirect?
