God’s Standard (I)

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, “the Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity” 2 Timothy 2:19 KJV

Bible Reading: Romans 6:1-14

Compromise can weaken standards especially when it involves lowering a requirement. As Christians when we introduce or accept standards that are lower than what God desires, we weakening our faith. For instance, lowering God’s standard in order to accept everyone to perform duties in the church does not align with what God wants. Rather, we may end up building a new generationof people who believe that anything goes in God. To be clear, God’s standard cannot be changed because God is no respecter of persons. But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him (Acts. 10:34).

Although God loves sinners, but sin is an abomination unto Him; He calls all people to come as they are so that He can wash us clean by the precious blood of His only son Jesus Christ. If you genuinely come to God, you can never remain the same because you are made clean, holy and righteous unto God. Dear friends, Christ Jesus is the only way to the Father; only those who are consecrated, sanctified and holy unto God shall see God. Do not be deceived, a life of sin will only lead you to hell. God does not want eternal damnation for anyone, hence he madeprovision for redemption in Christ Jesus so that we can live above sin and reign with Him in Heaven. Repent today because tomorrow may be too late!

Self-Reflection: In what areas have you set standards contrary to God’s?

Action Point: Repent and turn from your evil ways.

Daily Confession: Lord I repent of my old ways and turn totally unto You. Help me stand in Thy truth forever, amen.

Intercessory prayer: Pray for your city for God’s healing.

Hymn: Is there a heart that is waiting,

Longing for pardon today?

Hear the glad message proclaiming,

Jesus is passing this way.
