Christian Bumper Stickers

My friends and I were talking about crazy drivers the other day. Bethany said, "You know what upsets me, when I see a car with a Christian bumper sticker getting road rage. Aren't you supposed to be a Christian?"

I honestly think there would be twice the number of Christian bumper stickers if people weren't scared of not living up to a Christian reputation on the roads. In the same way, I believe there would be twice the number of Christian's in the world if people weren't scared of not living up to a Christian reputation.

We don't have to be perfect, awesome, law-abiding citizens before the journey with God. Making the journey with God is what makes us perfect. As Christian's, we should be known as humble, not perfect. We should be known as those that believe alone we are an imperfect nothing, there's only one way to change that, with Jesus.

God doesn't expect us to be perfect. Psalm 18:30, "As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him."

God's way is flawless. It is perfect. It's so perfect that if we gives our lives to Him, He is a shield for our imperfections. Wow.

So if you ever hear that excuse from your friend's again, remind them, we don't have to be perfect or worthy of a relationship with God, a relationship with God makes us worthy.
