Responsibility is accountability as a Christian. In a sermon, according to PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, while preaching at BRINGING BACK GOD, in BRISTOL and MARIETTA, “responsibility isn’t trying to correct or fix your weaknesses; that’s what arrogance tries to do. Rather it’s simply admitting “I’m wrong”. God can work with that. It’s carrying the burden instead of palming it off. The opposite of responsibility is blame or ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away. Without you taking responsibility for your own behavior you cannot be saved.
Most Christians don’t know how to take responsibility. They’re sorry as long as they share the blame, or they ignore it and hope no one says anything. In fact, most Christians tell the other person that they are the one who is responsible to say they’re wrong and hold a grievance until they do. Most Christians manipulate others with bribery or niceness to fix their problems instead of taking the responsibility themselves.
Unlike the prodigal, most Christians wait for the father to chase after them to bring them back to their position. That’s because they don’t think they are prodigal in their heart, but the real truth is, most Christians are the older brother looking like they’re helping the father but really in their blindness of heart, manipulating his response for their own benefit and self-value. This is exposed when someone else gets the better deal.
May God open the eyes of His remnant to their own pride instead of blaming others for the injustice”
