WE MUST LEAVE A GOOD LEGACY FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION.

CHRIST CHOSEN DISCIPLES:
BY VIRTUE OF OUR FAITH IN GOD THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, WE ARE EXPECTED TO BE OF GOOD EXAMPLE TO OTHERS IN ALL THAT WE SAY OR DO.
JAMES, 4:-17 “SO WHOEVER KNOWS THE RIGHT THING TO DO AND FAILS TO DO IT, FOR HIM IT IS SIN.”
BEING ROLE MODEL TO OTHERS, BOTH BELIEVERS AND NON=BELIEVERS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT IN THE COURSE OF OUR DISCIPLESHIP IN CHRIST.
SHOWING OTHERS THE MEEKNESS AND HUMILITY OF CHRIST THROUGH OUR BEHAVIORS MAY ACTUALLY LEAD THE NON-BELIEVERS TO ACCEPT CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR.
TITUS, 2:-7-8 “IN ALL THINGS SHOW YOURSELF TO BE AN EXAMPLE OF GOOD DEEDS, WITH PURITY IN DOCTRINE, DIGNIFIED, SOUND IN SPEECH WHICH IS BEYOND REPROACH SO THAT THE OPPONENT WILL BE PUT TO SHAME, HAVING NOTHING BAD TO SAY ABOUT YOU.”
WE ARE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND OURSELVES OF WHAT IS REQUIRED OF US AS CHRIST FOLLOWERS.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD OUR FAITHFULNESS AND LOYALTY TO GOD BE COMPROMISE.
WE MUST ALSO FORGIVE OTHERS THAT WE MAY BE FORGIVEN BY OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. (MATTHEW, 6:-14-15)
FOR GOD CALLED US TO DO GOOD, EVEN IF IT MEANS GOING THROUGH SOME PAINS. JUST AS CHRIST SUFFERED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SAKE. HE HAS SET AN EXAMPLE FOR US TO FOLLOW. (1 PETER,2:-21)
LIKEWISE, OLDER WOMEN ARE TO BE REVERENT IN BEHAVIOR, NOT SLANDERS OR SLAVES TO MUCH WINE. THEY ARE TO TEACH WHAT IS GOOD AND SO TRAIN THE YOUNGER WOMEN TO LOVE THEIR HUSBANDS AND CHILDREN. TO BE SELF-CONTROLLED, PURE, WORKING AT HOME, KIND, AND SUBMISSIVE TO THEIR OWN HUSBANDS, THAT THE
WORD OF GOD MAY NOT REVILED. (TITUS,2:-3-5)
IN CONCLUSION: WE ARE TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE WORTHY OF EMULATION. ACT GODLY, RELATE TO THE LESS-PRIVILEGED IN A GODLY MANNER. BE WELL BEHAVED AT ALL TIME EVEN WHILE UNDER PROVOCATION, THAT WE MAY LEAVE A GOOD LEGACY FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATION TO FOLLOW.
