Conversations

 

After someone becomes a Christian, every area of their life should begin to change over time, and they should begin to live like Jesus lived if they are really a Christian. First John 4:17 explains, "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." Instead of being afraid of going to hell when they die, a Christian can boldly have confidence that they will go to heaven because they live like Jesus lived while He was on the earth. Similar verses are 1 John 2:3-6 which say, "3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4He that saith, I know him (says they are a Christian), and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6He that saith he abideth (This word means to remain or stay with. In this case, Christians continue to follow Jesus (imitate and obey/walk even as he walked) for the rest of their life. Someone who believes they can go to heaven because they believe in Jesus, but they know they aren’t going to follow Jesus for the rest of their life (abide in Him), needs to know that it doesn’t work that way (Matthew 10:38).) in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked."

 

So, if a Christian is supposed to try to imitate Jesus' life while He was on the earth, this includes our conversations. If you're like me, you probably wander how this is possible. Jesus knew everything about God and His Word, and His conversations were always centered around them. It's difficult enough to think of ways to talk about the Bible all day, especially if the person you are talking with isn't perfectly knowledgable about the Bible. But, theology isn't the only topic God expects us to talk and think about each day.

 

Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

 

This means thinking about things such as a miracle you witnessed or heard of, someone who got saved, some act of kindness you saw or heard of, something amazing an athlete did because God gifted them with that ability, or imagining what will be going on in heaven when you get there; how nice the flowers, trees, and weather looks because God made them that way, etc. 

 

So, if it's right for a Christian to think about these things, it's right for two Christians to talk about them. The key to this is to share this sermon with your Christian friend or family member and for example say, "Whenever we are watching sports and are talking about how awesome an athlete is doing their thing, we are letting God know that we are rejoicing because of how wonderfully He gifted the athletes." Whenever you are watching or going to a car show and are talking about how awesome the cars' features are, as in how wonderfully God gifted the car makers with such skill and smarts, you are letting God know that you are appreciating this fact. Whatever you are talking about that's the result of God's workmanship, remind God (who already knows) and the Christian you are talking with that you are having a conversation about God, (the way Jesus had conversations when He was on the earth.) The result is that Christians will be able to follow Jesus by the conversations they have.
