Snobbery

Sometimes, I'm a snob.

Like most people, its *usually* because I'm feeling insecure and fearful of putting myself out there.

But sometimes -- it's because I *actually* think I'm better than someone else. (Ick.)

And of course, both are sinful.

Because anything not of faith is sin.

Any lie we believe puts us outside of faith.

Faith works by love. Anything done outside of love is sin.

Perfect love casts out fear. He who fears has not been made perfect in love.

That's what we're all working toward--love. Loving God, loving ourselves, loving others.

But...the awesome thing is: There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ! You know why? Because we have been set FREE from the law of sin and death!

And as we look to Jesus, as we fellowship with the Father, and commune with other people we are being transformed.

Not transforming ourselves, not doing the work of transformation, but being transformed.
