Today’s
Thought “Quiet Time with My Lord” G. Ward
1 Peter 2
16 Act as free people,
and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use
it as bond-servants of God. 17 Honor all
people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
Our
words/confession of Christ as Lord must undergird a practice of HIS commands
unto spiritual transformation. Many however, embark on a liberal arts approach
to knowing God. In other words, they can pass a test regarding all HE did in
earth, even impressing many with their eloquent reciting, while believing Holy
God is pleased because their contribution in society won’t compare to the
vilest of sinners (cf. Luke 18:11). Instead, believers’ conversion should be
recognized by a consistent, inward change that “honors all men” even when it
appears they’re not worthy of such regard; remembering, our days’ refusal to
walk (faithfully) in the Spirit (Gal.5:16-23), remains a work in progress.
