He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His
Commandments, is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word in him verily is
the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself
also so to walk, even as He walked. 1 John, Chapter 2, verses 4-6.
I need to be a “Do as I say and as I do Christian”
and be more than boastful talk. We need
to be examples for others to see how God works in our lives.
Here are some related passages:
*For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth
pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be
fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall
break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be
called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach
them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew, Chapter 5, verses 18-19.
*I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the
End, the First and the Last. Blessed are
they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a
lie. Revelation, Chapter 22, verses
13-15.
Since
this is an example of the positive influence God has made on my walk
with Christ, this may not reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verses.
