Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.  2 Corinthians 13:5

True faith in Christ is lived out by the things we do each and every day. And by our example, we can either push someone away from God, or bring them closer to knowing the life-changing truth of Jesus Christ.  Because of the eternal importance of our example, we have to regularly revisit what’s right and what’s wrong in our behavior. We have to make sure that our moral compass is dialed into the clear standards of God’s word, and not the murky gray version of right and wrong that the world has created. 

As you walk through each day, take some time to take an honest look at your actions and investigate the level of influence your faith has on others. Are you doing all that God has asked of you? Are you truly in the faith?

Dear God, As I go through life each day, help me to properly examine my actions and motives. Help me to increase my faith in you and my influence on the lives of others. And help me discover what it truly means to live out my faith in you. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
