Walking a Truthful life

Objective truth
There is one central
element to Christ teachings through the mending ministry of John. In the natural world truth is usually determined by the way we
think we should walk. Sometimes we find
our walk in two realms; the Christian and the world. This means generally we
leave Christianity out of our street life and leave it in Church. Sometimes can
find ourselves acting out and using language we wouldn't normally use around
our family and Church. We generally do this to fit in with our peers however
somewhere along that line our behavior gets distorted, the once truthful walk
becomes gray (distorted) and then we start making allowances for our behavior.
Without getting into too much philosophy behind it all. This is called holding onto fundamental
beliefs and behaviors.
It is by philosophical nature that man will continue
shaping his life .
Fellowshipping with
like mind persons can either distort a truthful walk by corrupting our
relationship with Christ, or fellowshipping with Christians
that keeps, maintains and constantly develops a healthy relationship
with Christ.
John's second
epistle warns the faithful believers against fellowshipping with those who do
not abide in this truth, and the third epistle encourages the believers to
receive and help those who work for it. Thus making us accountable to our
fellow man. ( 3 john 1:8 &
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) Work together and lift up your fellow man if they should
stumble and fall but woe to him if he has fallen alone for he has another to
help him up.
Walking With
Christ; To walk in the fear of the Lord
To fear the Lord is
to hate evil: Pride and arrogant thinking is not good and to speak this way is
counter productive to a Christian walk.
Continue to walk in your faith
It is with great joy
that you continue to walk in the truthfulness. To assure we continue to walk
right. We must make small commitments:
1: WALK IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD
2: Spend time in the
bible
- Reading the Word keeps us in the correct frame of mind when we converse or speak with others.
3: Let no perversion
of the heart.
- Maintain a biblical life (2 Corinthians 10:5)
- Using unwholesome words and talk, watching and joining corruptible activities and other activities much like violence to include some TV, Music and Movies, you know what is wrong. (Romans 13:9 & 14)
4: Cultivate a godly
relationship
- Proverbs speaks of Iron sharpening Iron much an alike man standing accountable to his fellow man.
- Being accountable to one another, so he or she will not walk alone, when they fall you will be their to help them up and they you. (Proverbs 27:17 & Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
5: Develop a
rewarding prayer life
- A prayer life has different elements such as levels of intimacy with God.
- Letting the Word speak to you while conversing with God through fellowship of the Spirit.
- Prayer is abiding in Christ meaning connecting with Him.
- It is an encounter that leads us intimately to God's heart
Concluding our walk today
Getting our soul into shape
By cultivating the
correct view of God's heart our daily walk will show signs of growth, strength
and durability. You will experience a vibrant daily walk with an assurance if
you will, that you serve a resin savior. Become accountable to one you fellowship
with, be the one who is there when they stumble or fall. Men you are
accountable to your families as your wife is accountable to you. Rebuke her not
when she helps you up from your fall.
Except that we are human we do make mistakes and we do fall short. We
each are authors of our own sin, still we can and will find redemption in
Christ.
Lastly as Christians we walk with divine power that was imparted through Cross
and Christ death we were made alive, we lead by example; we should act like it!
