Heaven Bound, but Humble

8/11/2015

"Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.  Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." -Philippians 2:5-8 (NASB)
There are people that react negatively to Christians.  Their reactions may be due to the expectations that Christians behave perfectly, that ourselves and other believers may have shown some less than Christ-like actions, or an attitude that just because we are saved we are better we are superior.  As Christians, our faith is supposed to set us apart from others, but it shouldn't give us "big heads" or make us think we are better than others.

Whether we run into negative reactions or are trying to live our lives for God, we need to learn from the attitude that Jesus showed us.  Jesus was perfect, the Son of God.  Even though He was perfect, He was humble.  We are not perfect.  Even though we are purified by God through the sacrifice of Jesus, we should still be humble.  We are sinners, just like everyone else in the world.  Our humble actions should show that we have been forgiven and allow others to see the path to forgiveness.  We are heaven bound, but we should be humble and helping others join us on the journey!

Redeemed and heaven bound, just don't forget to be humble so others will join the journey!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for saving me.  Help me to be humble and to show others Your path to forgiveness and a better, eternal life.  Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
