INEFFECTIVE FAITH IS MARKED BY AN UNCHANGED LIFE.
If you’re in the furnace, it’s easy to catch fire. God warned the Israelites about their neighbors whose beliefs and actions could turn them away from him. We also live with neighbors whose values may be completely different from ours. We are called to maintain a lifestyle that shows our faith. This can be a struggle, especially if our Christian lifestyle differs from the norm. Our life should show that we put obeying God before doing what is praised and accepted by society.
BIBLE READING: Matthew 5:1-12
KEY BIBLE VERSE: God blesses you when you are mocked and persecuted and lied about because you are my followers. Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted, too. (Matthew 5:11-12)
