When people became Christians, they should have abandoned
practises that contradict the Christian life, and have more trust and dependence on God. However, some
still go back to old habits,
attitudes, ways of doing things or behaviours which contradict how a
Christian should live, especially when their prayers are not
answered or when they do not get what they wish. Are we Christians only in name, as if it is some form of prestige or status symbol; or are we really and truly living as Christians, by showing our faith through our love?
In
today's reading, St. Paul reminds us: "Christians are told by the
Spirit to look to faith for those rewards that righteousness hopes for,
since in Christ Jesus whether you are circumcised or not makes no
difference – what matters is faith that makes its power felt through
love." May we not take for granted our lives as Christians and show our faith through our actions, so that others may know that we are Christians by our love.
