Talk Vs Action

"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds
the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,
you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 5:20
Today's Bible Reading: Colossians 3:5-10.
In a decadent society the will to believe, to resist, to contend, to fight, to struggle, is gone. In place of this will to resist, there is the desire to conform, to drift, to follow, to yield, and to give up. This is what happened in the last days of the Rome Empire, but it also applies to us. The same conditions that prevailed in Rome prevail in our society. Before Rome fell, her standards were abandoned, the family disintegrated, divorce prevailed, immorality was rampant, and faith was at a low ebb. As the historian Gibbon said, “There was much talk of religion, but few practised it.”
Christ calls us to more than an outward religion — He calls us to a changed heart and a holy life. In a world drifting further from God, may we put off sin, resist conformity, and pursue the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ.
Prayer: May I be found worthy to bear the name Christian, Heavenly Father. In the name of Your dear Son, I pray. Amen.
