BEING PERCEIVED AS A LIAR DUE TO DISHONESTY BOTH IN WORDS AND DEEDS IS A HEAVY STAIN ON OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
THE CALLED & FORGIVEN:
BEING PERCEIVED AS A LIAR DUE TO DISHONESTY BOTH IN WORDS AND DEEDS IS A HEAVY STAIN ON OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.
AS FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST, OUR ATTITUDES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
IF WE GENUINELY ACCEPTED CHRIST AS LORD THIS MAY QUALIFY US AS CHRISTIANS BUT TO BE FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST WE MUST FOLLOW HIS TEACHINGS TO BE HIS TRUE DISCIPLES.
SOME ARE SO QUICK IN QUOTING GENESIS, 20:-1-16 TO BACK UP THEIR DECEPTIVE BEHAVIORS FORGETTING THAT GOD’S MEASUREMENT OF FORGIVENESS ON AN INDIVIDUAL IS BASED UPON GOD’S DISCRETION. [ROMANS, 9:-14-15]
MORE SO, THE SCALE AT WHICH WE ARE PERCEIVED IN SOCIETY MEANS A LOT IN THE COURSE OF OUR DISCIPLESHIP IN CHRIST JESUS.
USING THE HOLY NAME OF GOD TO SUBSTANTIATE LIES IS SO COMMON AMONG BELIEVERS, THAT WE MUST NOT CONTINUE ON THIS PATH THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION.
IN CONCLUSION: AS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST WHO DESIRES TO BE “RAPTURED” IF YOUR JOB OR PROFESSION REQUIRES LIES TO MAKE YOUR ENDS MEET, PLEASE YOU NEED ANOTHER JOB THAT WILL BE IN CONFORMITY WITH YOUR FAITH IN THE LORD. [JOHN, 8:-44]
WE ARE MEMBERS OF: “THE WAY OF THE CROSS.”
