Treating Everyon with Honor (3 of 4)
The Power of Honor
Kerry Shook
1 Peter 2:17
"Show proper respect to everyone…."
1 Peter 2:17a (NIV)
"Remind the people to respect the government and be law-abiding, always ready to lend a helping hand. No insults, no fights. God's people should be bighearted and courteous. Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient; we were misled by others and became slaves to many evil pleasures and wicked desires. Our lives were full of resentment and envy. We hated others and they hated us. But when the time came for the kindness and love of God our Savior to appear, then He saved us—not because we were good enough to be saved but because of His kindness and pity—by washing away our sins and giving us the new joy of the indwelling Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us with wonderful fullness—and all because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did so that He could declare us good in God's eyes—all because of His great kindness; and now we can share in the wealth of the eternal life He gives us, and we are eagerly looking forward to receiving it. These things I have told you are all true. Insist on them so that Christians will be careful to do good deeds all the time, for this is not only right, but it brings results."
Titus 3:1-2; 3-8 (MSG/TLB)
- GOD CREATED EVERONE SO DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE
"Yet You made them inferior only to Yourself; You crowned them with glory and honor." Psalm 8:5 (GNT)
"The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.'" Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
- LOOK DEEPER AND SEE SOMEONE CHRIST DIED FOR
"When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit." Titus 3:4-5 (NLT)
