Form
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People
will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud,
abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. 2 Timothy 3:1-5
How do you form your life? Is it based on principles that follow a
standard of graciousness, or is it full of worldly beliefs and attitudes
that help you form your opinions and your lifestyle. I am finding more
and more that the people I see at work and school each day, are more
interested in themselves than other people. They focus on pleasing
themselves rather than pleasing God. When Jesus came to earth, He did
not focus on His own life, but that of others. Although those around
Him were proud, boastful, and without love, He showed them Love and
humbly cared about each one of them. If we focused more on our form
being one that is of God, instead of this world, our lives would most
definitely have a positive influence on the people around us. It is
important that our form does not follow the ungodly ways of the world,
but of the Godly ways our Father in Heaven has set out before us. On
this resurrection weekend, remember the form that Jesus took in His
resurrected body so we could all be given the Grace we should give
others and do not deserve ourselves.
Have a great weekend.
