It is always more comfortable to debate theological fine points than to discuss our own walk with God.
Some people love a theological debate. They can loudly proclaim the shortcomings of other people’s doctrinal beliefs. They can arrogantly announce their positions on theological subjects. Yet their life can be in total disarray. Their character can be far from Christ-like. Their love for others may be non-existent. Too many people would rather discuss theological issues than to have Christ transform them.
The woman at the well tried to divert Jesus from getting too close to the real issues of her life, but He was undeterred. Theology is important and people do well to work their own beliefs out carefully. But at the end of the day it will not be what we claimed to believe, but what we did with the Person of Jesus that will matter.
In all of your discussions about religion and theology, is your life being transformed to be more like Christ? Is your life glorifying Christ more today than it was yesterday?
