Your life and lifestyle

 your life and lifestyle

In the book of Proverbs we read

“Let love and faithfulness never leave you; 

bind them around your neck, 

write them on the tablet of your heart. 

Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."

                                                                                                    ” Proverbs 3:3,4

The writer of Hebrews wrote,

“Make every effort to live in peace with all men 

and to be holy; 

without holiness no one will see the Lord."

                                                                   ” Hebrews 12:14.

The apostle Paul wrote,

But the fruit of the Spirit is 

love, joy, peace, patience, 

kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  

gentleness and self-control. 

Against such things there is no law."  

                                                 Galatians 5:22,23.

As Christians we have an obligation to be doing what the above scriptures are telling us to do. People need to see our lives filled with love for all people even our enemies.

Unfortunately way to many people claiming to be Christians do not exhibit these attributes toward others. They have become bad religious copies of the world. 

Billy Graham said,

“Those outside the church expect followers of Christ to live differently, 

yet today many in church are chasing after the world - 

not to win them, but to be like them.”

                                                    Billy Graham. 

This should not be so.

Francis of Assisi said,

“The deeds you do 

may be the only sermon 

some persons will hear today” 

                                            Francis of Assisi.

If you claim to be Christian take some time to assess your life, lifestyle and actions toward those around you. Ask yourself, What is my sermon telling the those around me about me. About Christ.

Please think about it.
