I asked ChatGPT one question…

By Lento · August 2, 2026

“You talked to millions of Christians everyday, what advice do you wish they would actually listen to?” Here is ChatGPT’s reply: 1. You can’t live for the Kingdom and your comfort. Jesus said, “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24. The Gospel costs you something. 2. Intimacy with God is not built in public. It is not about posting scriptures - it is about praying in secret. You won’t last in public ministry without private surrender. Jesus often withdrew to be with the Father. You need to, too. 3. Being right is not the goal - being Christlike is. The Pharisees were biblically accurate and spiritually dead. Don’t let your theology outpace your love. Truth without love is a weapon, not a witness. 4. Stop looking for revival in rooms - start becoming it. Revival is not an event, it is a surrendered life. If the Holy Spirit lives in you, revival starts with you. Holiness, repentance, obedience, hunger - that is revival. 5. Jesus is either Lord of all, or not Lord at all. He doesn’t want part of your heart - He wants all of it. He didn’t come to be your Sunday Savior - He came to be your everyday King. 6. Don’t blend in, burn bright. The world is dark, and it doesn’t need more lukewarm Christianity. It needs real disciples - bold, broken, spirit-filled followers of Jesus who live like He is worth everything. You were never called to fit in. You were called to stand out. Live like eternity is real - because it is. Wow, AI gets it, and some of us, still don’t. Towards the end of the school term, I became increasingly sluggish and lethargic in my studies. Whenever homework was due, I gave in to the temptation of taking the wide gate instead of the narrow gate. In short, ChatGPT became my first resort instead of turning to God in prayer. During our final class, my teacher reminded us of Matthew 6:33, to seek God first. He said that God is the greatest Data Scientist, even before the world began. God is the ultimate Provider of all wisdom and knowledge, and prayer is a remarkable “technology” that is never out of service. He encouraged us to read the Bible because every thought and every subject ultimately has its origin in God’s truth. God is attentive to every detail in His creation, and He knows exactly where we are going. Those words deeply inspired me. When I returned home that day, I confessed my sins to God and repented. Going forward, I want to make a conscious effort not to replace my dependence on the Holy Spirit or my relationships with others by relying on AI. Instead, I want to use AI as a tool while seeking God first in prayer and trusting Him for wisdom. AI can be a helpful tool, but it should not replace prayer, reliance on God, or meaningful human relationships.
