Humility

“Test everything,” Paul told the Thessalonians, “hold fast to what is good” (1 Thess 5:21).    

Only one man ever rightfully received worship during His time on earth—Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ and the Son of God.

But there may be times when we, even while submitting to authorities, we suffer unjustly in the process. And if the latter is true, let us remember that we are called to walk in the footsteps of one who’s willingness to suffer unjustly resulted in the salvation of us all!

The Bible doesn’t encourage us to rest on past spiritual experiences. Rather, Scripture repeatedly instructs God’s people to exercise faith and obedience now and press forward in our pursuit of Christ and heavenly things.
