The Bank of Canada claims that the new polymer bank notes are the most secure series ever issued. But apparently some counterfeiters did not know. Several fake 100 dollar bills are circulating in British Columbia. Sometimes it is hard to tell the fake from the real thing. But put a counterfeit next to a legitimate bill, the difference is obvious to most. Similarly, there are many” counterfeit Christians too. They look very good in their own eyes but put them beside a real Christian, and it’s not hard to see the difference. That’s because a real Christians have acknowledged their spiritual bankruptcy, humbly cry out to the Lord for forgiveness and a home in heaven. God has promised, “Call to me and I will answer you.” That’s how we become children of God. There then follows a life demonstrating love, faith, joy peace and a genuine trust in God. Someone has well said, “Christians are not perfect, they’re just forgiven.”
