5 Characteristics of the Godly!
Scripture Reading: Romans 6:17-18
The Godly Obey the Word!
Ø
Romans 6 – Read.
o
We should no longer serve sin!
o
Christ lives to God
– Likewise you also!
o
Present yourselves as instruments of righteousness to God!
o
We became servants of righteousness!
o
We became servants of God!
Ø
James 1:18-25
o
Receive the word!
o
Do not be deceived!
o
We must be doers of the work!
o
If I went up to the mirror and thought, “I need a shave” then walked away, I
would quickly forget that I have got stubble on my face during the day. But
if I go to the mirror and not just say I need a shave but shave, then I
would be a doer and not a hearer only. Talk is so cheap, but action
speaks a lot louder than any of our words do.
Ø
James 2:14-25 – Faith of Abraham!
o
Speak to Romans 4:1-4;13-25 –
o
Do you honestly think God would have promised Abraham in disobedience?
o
How
can we say we are of Him unless we walk as He walked – 1 John 2:3-6.
Conclusion
o
The truth is that “The godly has perished from the earth, and there is
no one upright among mankind; they all lie in wait for blood, and each hunts
the other with a net” (Micah 7:2)
o
And that none of us are good, not even one of us (Rom 3:10-12)
o
So, we need the very righteousness of Christ to be imputed on our behalf or
God will not accept us (Romans 1:16-17)
o
But thankfully, that happens now a person repents and trusts in Christ.
o
God will not accept any human goodness.
We must ‘Put God 1st’, ‘walk humbly with God’, ‘be
generous at all times’, ‘pray without ceasing’, and ‘obey all
of God’s word!’
