BEING GOOD IN THE SIGHT OF GOD
All parents want their children
to grow up to be good people. In most homes good means; obeying your parents,
telling the truth always, being successful in school, and going to church – at least
every Sunday.
As perfect as those teachings may
seem, it was always contradicting each other – I stepped on toes while trying
to be the best, obeyed my elders at the detriment of being honest, went to
church because that’s what was required of me. I tried to uphold these values
but with no focal point, it kept crashing down on me.
In Christ alone my hope is found.
In Him I found that being good in the eyes of the world is not the same as
being good in the sight of God. Being good in God’s sight involves knowing and
accepting Jesus.
Our goodness in this world is
worth nothing when compared to the knowledge of Christ (Phil. 3:8). We are good
and we please God when our hope and faith are in Christ alone.
True... making the right decision is easier with Christ
ReplyDeleteYes, with God we can easily tell what is good from what is wrong
