Are you?
The apostle Paul writes,
“Love must be sincere.
Hate what is evil;
cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
Honour one another above yourselves.”
Romans 12:9,10.
Here is another must for Christians for those who believe in Christ Jesus.
1/ Our love must be sincere at all times.
2/We must hate evil in all its forms.
3/We must cling to what is good.
4/We must be devoted to one another in brotherly love.
5/We must honour others above ourselves.
Perhaps a sixth point would be to pray and ask God to show us what is good and what is evil, because it seems to me that Christians at times fail to see what is right and wrong.
Never has this been more important that in 2023. We have seen last year, in both North America and around the world evil rise. Not only that evil is rising under the guise of doing right.
As I looked at the so called freedom convoy here in Canada and the make America great again in the United States. I see people who espouse to be Christian, fooled into thinking what these groups are doing is right.
But are they. Jesus said,
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12.
Think about this. Do you honestly believe that those involved with the freedom convoy or make America great again would allow others to protest against them?
Do you honestly believe that those people who want to take away the right to same sex marriage, a right given them by a duly elected secular government would bow down and accept their rights being taken away.
When Jesus made the statement,
"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12.
He didn’t say you had to always agree with the people around you. What He made clear was treat other people the way you wish to be treated.
So are you doing this?
Are these things active in your life?
1/ Sincere love at all times.
2/ hating evil in all its forms.
3/Cling to what is good.
4/Devoted to one another in brotherly love.
5/Honouring others above ourselves.
Please think about it.
