HOW BELIEVERS LIVE IN THE WORLD

July 19th 2016

Deut. 5:11-21

When believers see clearly the world God has created and consider its value with thankfulness, they realize that the world is truly a place to live. Let's look again at the 10 commandments, with thankfulness.

  1. Consider God's name as precious (11)
Don't use the name of God to nourish resentful thoughts.
  1. Keep the day of the Lord holy (Sabbath)
Work with all your strength during six days. The Sabbath is a day of rest and peace for the soul.
  1. Honor your parents (16)
In this way, your children will honor God and yourselves.
  1. Consider the life of a man as precious (17)
Don't kill.
  1. Marriage is holy (18)
Do not commit adultery. Do not think of flirting as normal. Virgins are only happy if they keep their virginity.
  1. Consider the possessions of others as precious (18)
Don't steal. Everything in this world belongs to God and to us.
  1. Love the truth (20)
False testimony deprives us of sincerity.
  1. Learn (know how) to be content (21)
Do not covet what belongs to others.

When we allow Jesus to live in our hearts, we can see the world with light. How happy would you be if you could see the world from this new point of view ?

Prayer : Lord, forgive me if I have badly used or considered this world that you created.

Bottom line : precious world
