Matthew 6:2 (KJV) A Most Uncomfortable Question

Matthew 6:2 (KJV)

Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

As I read this chapter, I am impressed by the challenge our Saviour places before the people: God? Or not?

Do you believe He is? Do you believe that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him?

These were very religious people. Their very identity rested in their religion and in its roots in the true and living God.

But identity does not always equal genuine faith.

That’s the challenge.

To live as believers versus truly acting on faith.

We see it all around us.

• People who pray for earthly rather than heavenly results.
• People who lay up treasures on earth rather than in heaven.
• People who do not want God’s kingdom to come, but believe it already has.
• People who labor and fret over earthly pleasures as if there were no eternity.
• People who seek to add things to this life as though they expect no life hereafter.

The question is: God? Or not?

The unredeemed man has it settled in his mind—there is no God. He has seen no evidence to convince him and, frankly, he has seen little evidence that the majority of professing believers are convinced.

God? Or not?

That’s the challenge.

Where do you stand when measured against Matthew 6?
