THE CHRISTIAN’S SPIRITUAL MIRROR

by: Medrick Mwale

THE TRUTH YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW

A mirror is a surface, typically of glass coated with a metal amalgam, which reflects a clear image. In this article I refer to the Ten Commandments as  a Christian’s spiritual mirror, and here is why!

To start with we must understand that indeed the Ten Commandments were and are our school master to bring us to Christ Jesus. The ten commandments are a spiritual mirror to show you and i that we are out of shape. The mirror can not make you healthy; it can only show you that you are out of shape.

 

 

The Ten Commandments can not make you spiritually perfect, they can only help you identify that you have gone out of the way just like the mirror tells you that you are out of shape.

"A young man looked into the mirror, while he was in  his birth suit,  he noticed from the reflection of himself from the mirror that he had a flabby chest, his stomach was fat, and his arms were weak. He immediately took action and went and got a personal trainer, and he started an exercise program, eating healthy and working out. He drunk water, instead of soft drinks and he ate grilled meat instead fried and he ate a lot of fresh vegetables. After doing this  steadily for a while, he went and looked into the mirror yet again.  To his astonishment he was in great shape."
  
Did the mirror get him in Shape? Certainly Not!

The same goes for godliness, which is being spiritually in shape. The trainer in the story is the Holy spirit. The water, meat, and vegetables are the word of God (66 good love letter or Holy Bible). The exercise program is the godliness (Living by Faith and being with Christ). Therefore, if you accept Christ Jesus as your personal savior, you become the child of God and receive the Holy Spirit. If you walk in the spirit you will not fulfill the lusts of the fresh and therefore you are demonstrating godliness of holiness. Remember we are called to be holy (1 peter 1:15).

Now take time and carefully look at the Spiritual Mirror and tell me what you see? Are you in Good Spiritual Shape? If not, worry not, just look at the cross and see Jesus Christ, for he is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes (Romans 10:4).
