CADILLAC THROUGH AND THROUGH

It is kind of like a brand new Cadillac. Inside, it has all the latest features installed. As it rolls off the assembly line at GM it has everything you would expect in a Caddy: Top of the line electronics, voice activated GPS navigation system, great surround sound system, heated and cooled all leather seats, push button start, everything.

But they do not let that Cadillac out of the factory with primer grey paint, knock-off tires and plain-Jane stock wheels, plastic bolt-on mirrors and bargain-bin wipers and headlights. No, to be a Cadillac it must be a Cadillac inside and out. You wouldn’t want to drive a car that was a Cadillac on the inside, and a Gremlin or a Pacer on the outside. It must be a Cadillac through and through.

God expects us to be a Christian through and through, not just on the inside, but on the outside as well.
