Appeasing the principles of Christ!

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

The act of appeasing is to make concessions often at the sacrifice of principles. As believers, you and I tend to interpret scripture so it is compatible with our lifestyle. Or, we accept what we like and reject disagreeable elements.

 

It is very difficult to live in the world and not be influenced by worldly values. The world operates on the principle of satisfying self. God calls believers to die to self and live for Christ.

Where is the middle ground? We live in the world but we are not of the world. How can we employ the values of Christ into our life while enjoying the goodness in the world?

You have to develop the mind set the pathway to the goodness of God comes to those who seek Him above all else. This spiritual principle will never change and troubles come when you reverse the priorities and place self first.

Appeasement takes place when you yield to fleshy indulgences and reject the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You fall out of oneness with God to satisfy self.

The biggest issue with Christianity is appeasing scripture to fulfill the goals of religion or to comply with the changing needs of society. With God this is a non negotiable issue. God never changes and His Word cannot be watered down or revised.

The only way you can be insulated from the temptations in the world is to live in oneness with God yielding to the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is your teacher and He will show you how to live in the world without compromising the values of Christ.

Taking short cuts with God will lead to misery and destruction! Honor almighty God for who He is!

There is no one like Him!
