"But when I saw that they were not on the right road in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of all, "If you, though a Jew, are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?""
Galatians 2:14
Galatians 2:14
The way of the the world tells us to blend in and to not create waves yet the Gospel tells us the opposite. How as Christians are we to bring in the kingdom if we are not professing it with our own life's?
The disciples lived the gospels each day and did not conform or bend to the world. This verse is telling us we also must stand for what we believe in and live our lives of faith with conviction. Thing about that today as you go about, are you on the right road, will your actions compel the Gentiles?
Dear Lord God, send us Your Holy Spirit and help us on our journey to walk the narrow road with truth and conviction in our hearts and our actions. To not fall victim to the ways of the world in order to blend in but to stand for what is right and true. You are the Living God, may Your light shine thru each of us today as we live the life You call each of us too. I ask this through the name of Jesus, Amen.
