I read this the other day. A person who was living a life style that evangelical Christians don't agree with. In support of his lifestyle, putting down the evangelicals. I'm not taking sides or speaking out on this issue.
What I found interesting was his comment at the end of his rant, "Jesus doesn't want to change you."
Really? REALLY?
Woman at the well "go and sin no more" CHANGED
Saul killing Christians - met Jesus on the road became Paul, CHANGED
Abram met God, entered a covenant with him, became the Father of many nations, a father so late in life it was deemed impossible, and given a new name - CHANGE
The Scriptures are full of people that when they met Jesus had a radical life change.
The world today is full of people who met Jesus and had a radical life change.
To use the statement "Jesus doesn't want to change you" is totally opposed to the Scripture Philippians 1:6 "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
I believe that if you truly meet Jesus, if you truly know Jesus, that your life should be one of continual change. Continuing to seek him. No one ever meets Jesus without change. He died on a cross so he could orchestrate change in our lives.
