As a believer - where do you rate?

Good morning everyone!! Another wonderful day to be alive in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! The weekend was beautiful and wonderful. God blesses us, even when we don't deserve it.

Last week we talked about women and how they should conduct themselves, men and how they should conduct themselves, so now let's talk about Christians.

1 Peter 3:8 "Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude."

Peter lists 5 key elements that should characterize any group of believers.
1) one mind - pursuing the same goals;
2) sympathy - being responsive to others' needs;
3) love - seeing and treating each other as brothers and sisters;
4) tenderness - being affectionately sensitive and caring; and
5) humility - being willing to encourage one another and rejoice in each other's successes.
These five qualities go a long way toward helping believers serve God effectively.
This is a great check list for you and me. On a scale from 1 to 5 rate yourself. Score 5 or under you need a lot of knee time - prayer - to get right with God. A 25 - you are about as near perfect as we can find - you may need knee time as well. Be honest and see where you fit. Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
