Part V: Six Principles to Live By

II Corinthians 10:12 "For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding."

V. Never take your Christianity from Christians, or argue that because such and such people do so and so, that therefore you may.

Just because it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, acts like a duck and quacks like a duck, doesn't mean it is a duck! There are a lot of people who call themselves Christian, who are not Christian! There are a lot of people who use the name 'Christian' for the wrong reason. We are warned over and over again in Scripture to "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves" Matthew 7:15. There are many who have just enough Christianity to get themselves into heaven, but are not surrendered to the Holy Spirit, or have wrong doctrine, or are weak when it comes to understanding Scripture.

When you are looking for THE example to follow, then you look to Jesus. You want to be like Him? Then spend time with Him, be in the Word and KNOW His ways.

You are to ask yourself, "How would Christ act in my place?"
. . . And strive to follow Him. John 10:27
