Those Who Say
They Live In God
Should Live Their Lives As Jesus Did.
Scripture
1 John 2
6 Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
Observation
Hypocrites!
Yes,
those rascals kept my father-in-law from church for most of his life. Kathy’s
Dad, Clayton Bearden saw men from the church doing things that were morally and
ethically wrong and yet on Sundays these men acted “Holy” and “Dignified”.
But
wait a minute … you and I are sometimes “Hypocrites” too. And when is that you
may ask? When we live a life on Sunday that doesn’t match our conduct Monday
through Saturday!
It
is true. When our lives don’t match the life of the Master, we cause people to
stumble.
Our
children look up to us. Our grandchildren need to see Jesus in us. Our
coworkers and our neighbors don’t need to see a contradiction in our lives. No
what they need to see in us is Jesus!
You
and I need to live our lives as Jesus did. Here is the test: Is what I am doing
something that would please Jesus? Will it bring Him glory?
If
the answer is “no” then don’t do it!
I
want to live my life as Jesus did. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You are Holy and You have called me to be holy too. I know that You
want me to live my life as Jesus did. Help me to do just that. Keep me away
from stupid sins. Help me to confess my sins as soon as I commit them. Don’t
let me be a stumbling block to my children, my grandchildren, or anyone else. I
pray for those who are sick. Give them strength today. Heal their bodies. Show
them Your Power. Help them to trust in You through the storm in their life.
Nothing is too hard for You.
