The Way That Is Right
Tit 2:7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Tit 2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
IN ALL THINGS we must show a pattern or resemblance of purity, honesty and genuineness. The hardest part about this is the “In all things” s...tipulation. None of us are perfect; in fact all of our righteousness is as filthy rags to GOD. It is only by HIS grace we are saved, and it is only by HIS grace we exist. We are like the not so blind leading the blind; but all still in a state of blindness, whether complete or selective. But as believers in CHRIST we must show a pattern of doing better; its evidence of salvation – not what makes you saved. The world is watching you, your friends, acquaintances and fellow workers are watching because they have heard you say you are a Christian; they expect certain actions. They expect us to behave to a certain standard; and they are right. They know what is required, its written on their hearts, (as hard as they may be).
What is weird is that same standard they expect out of us, they feign ignorance of in their own personal lives and refuse to be called to account when their actions violate those standards.
But we are to walk in those standards.
Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
That is what we are supposed to be doing! Those are our marching orders. But that is not the same for each of us, GOD is working on each of us where we are, fixing our problems as we give them up. Work out your own salvation...
