HOW THEN SHOULD WE LIVE?
I am sure there are lots of scriptures we could look at and consider in answering that questions, but these verses come to mind for me … 2b “… Live in harmony by showing love for each other. Be united in what you think, as if you were only one person. 3 Don’t be jealous or proud, but be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. 4 Care about them as much as you care about yourselves 5 and think the same way that Christ Jesus thought:+
6 Christ was truly God.
But he did not try to remain+
equal with God.
7 Instead he gave up everything+
and became a slave,
when he became
like one of us.
8 Christ was humble.
He obeyed God and even died
on a cross.
9 Then God gave Christ
the highest place
and honored his name
above all others.”
Philippians 2:2-9
If we would live our lives according to this was I am confident we would be pleasing to God. However, we fall short on a regular basis and thus disappoint our Creator. For the most part we are selfish beings and think of ourselves above others. It is just part of our sin nature. We need help, but first we need forgiveness. Jesus offers both. The reverential fear of God is the beginning and the essence of wisdom. Do you have wisdom in your life?
