IF YOU DO THESE THINGS

 

These statement is found in Psalm 15:5, saying; HE THAT SOES THESE THINGS SHALL NEVER BE SHAKEN and 2Pet 1:10 saying, IF YOU DO THESE THINGS YOU WILL NEVER FALL


Since in our Christian journey we will meet things that will try to shake us and things that will try to make us fall from the faith ; we need to what we need to what to do so that we will always be able to overcome all the things or situations in our lives that will try to make us fall or shake us.


In the context of Psalm 15:1-5, we note these things mentioned

We must walk uprightly and blamelessly, that is to live in clear conscience before God and man.

We must work righteousness and speak truth in our hearts; we have to be deliberate in doing what is right and exercise our tongues not to speak lies but always speak the truth.

We must not slander; that is to speak evil of others behind their back, nor do evil to anyone or disgrace or shame his friends.

In whose eyes the vile person is despised, but honors those who fear the Lord. That is you will never justify the wicked or condemn the righteous,; seeks to honour those whom the Lord honors.

He swears to his own hurt and does not change; that is, he keeps His promise even if it hurts him

He does not take advantage of the poor and the weak. 

He does not take bribes against the innocent.

He that does ALL THE THINGS MENTIONED ABOVE SHALL NEVER BE SHAKEN


In the context of 2Pet1:3-10, we are told that God has given us all things that we need for life and all the things we need to live a godly life. More to these, God has given us many promises in His word which aim at making us partake the divine nature. For this purpose, there are thing we need to add diligently to our faith; these are:

Moral excellence.

Knowledge

Self-control

Perseverance

Godliness

Brotherly kindness

Love 


We are told that if we do these things we will never fall. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;

 And since we know what to do that we do not shake or fall in the times of trials and temptation, we are blessed if learn our lesson and put it into practice in our lives.


You are blessed to be a blessing
