Christianity
has gone through the persecution of ages. The people of God withstood
all adversities to preserve the truth so that generations after
generations truth will be uplifted. The blood of our forefathers testify
that God is true and His words are true. Yet the divisions and fights
in our churches today bring this question forefront “ If we are in
Christ,Why are we so divided within ourselves ?” . The answers to this
demanding question can be varied and reasons could be unlimited. Below
are four principles that could be helpful in our present day crisis if
we abide by....
Four Principles for Effective Christian Living :
1. There is
no second class Christians in Christianity. We are all equal in the
eyes of the Lord. Thus bringing divisions based on color, creed,
nationality, skills or positions in the church is allowing devil to
lead. When Jesus is the Head of the Church, Everyone is equal.
2. Where
there is disunity in the church, Resolve them with the Biblical
Principle (fundamental truth). Don't defend yourself or others based on
your personal preferences or personal philosophy or your own
manipulation of the truth.
3. Don't
judge anything or anyone without knowing the details of it. Saying
anything without knowing the details will lead you to misjudge people
and situations. This would cause trouble to other believers and would
lead them to wrong direction. Overall Judge yourself first before
judging anyone.
4. No one is
too perfect to err. Power corrupts and when people have authority to
control the minds of others they often commit blunders if they are not
truly tuned with God's word. Therefore never allow yourselves to dictate
that you are supreme and know the best. Only God has that position and
He shares it with none.
To God be the Glory
