Living a Godly Life

1 Timothy 4: 12 "Let no man despise thy youth; BUT be thou an example of the believer, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith (faithfulness), in purity (holiness)."

What kind of GODLY example are you to those that are lost?

Did you know that a large number of Christians are ashamed to let others know whom they serve? Oh now everybody will RAISE their hands when it time to go to Heaven! Oh if you ask, "HOW MANY OF YOU ARE SAVED, RAISE YOUR HANDS!" I will tell you all the hands will fly up toward the ceiling! BUT! How many really live a godly example of a child of God?

In the Book of Proverbs, chapter 6, verse 16, the bible says, "These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:" If you look at verse 17, the very first (1) thing that the Lord HATES is a PROUD LOOK, next (2) is a lying tongue. Followed by (3) "Hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked imaginations, (5) feet that be swift in running to mischief, (6) a false witness that speaketh lies, and (7) he THAT SOWETH DISCORD AMONG THE BRETHREN.

Every child of God should search through this shelf of things that the LORD HATES and make sure that these things are not found in our life.

Now that you have searched your life, if you have found ONE OF THEM, what kind of example do you think you are to ANYBODY?

ANSWER; an ungodly example!

REMEMBER, if you are a Christian and you are living a godly life, your life should be a BIBLE that lost people will read.
