1 John 2:6 ICB – ‘Whoever says that God lives in him must live as Jesus lived.’
We live in a time where morals and ideals vary person to person. As believers, we know that this is not true because Christ shows us otherwise. When He walked Earth, He was uncompromising. Just read some of his stories in the Bible! As followers, we should imitate Christ. Our morals and ideals should not change because of the times we are in.
In order to adhere to a standard, we have to first know the standard we are aiming to meet. Sometimes we compromise the things we stand for because we don’t really know and understand what we are supposed to be standing for. Treat the Bible as a blueprint.
God’s word has everything we could ever need in it. It’s timeless and even has something to say about today’s racial tensions. If we want to know what God expects from us in a practical sense, we look at His word because nothing new is under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).
Don’t believe me? Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to a story or a person in the Bible that relates to the present circumstance. He will show you how Jesus would respond. Let’s follow Christ’s example and be uncompromising.
PRAYER: Lord, thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ. He showed me how possible it is to live a holy, unwavering life. Let my life be unwavering in the things you ask of me. Help me to be unwavering in Your Word and never to compromise for anyone. Help me to do the things you require of me and live a life that pleases You. Thank you for being my Father and wanting the best for me. In Jesus name, Amen.
