"Christian Virtue"

Christian Virtue

Micah 6:6-8 

God knows His children by the way they live in this ever-changing world. The world you live in today is like sinking sand. Men who do not have their orientation in God will continue to shift their allegiance and commitment in line with this unstable world. This is not so with God and those who truly follow and worship Him. God hates instability.

His standard for following Him will never shift. Steadfastness is an important attribute of God and a great Christian virtue. A virtue is a moral trait in someone that generally leads to an acceptable behaviour or conduct. A Christian virtue then is a Bible-based mode of conduct that pleases God. It entails knowing what is good, doing it and avoiding what is wrong.

In walking before God, you must understand that He is not interested in sacrifices of offerings, tithes, praises, and so on that have no conviction of obedience to His word. With God, there is no alternative mode of behaviour except what will send a pleasant aroma to His holy nostrils.

These are the things He has shown you: purity, love, humility, self-control, faith, courage, mercy, forgiveness, truth, being generous when there is a time of need. These are some of the biblical definitions of Christian virtues. Every Christian who has heaven in focus must be defined by these emblems.

Beloved, I advise you to examine yourself and see if you are still in faith. Regular self-examination will help everyone of us in the race of salvation and eternity. We must not be complacent. We must keep improving on our Christian values and make becoming like Christ our highest priority.

This will make it difficult for the enemy to distract or discourage us in the race. I pray that you will finish strong and finish well, in the name of Jesus.
