As God’s children who are saved in Christ, we receive one another on the basis of repentance and faith. With a full commitment of our lives to Christ. This is discipleship. And it requires complete humility. When we catch ourselves being ‘haughty’. Let us humble ourselves. When we catch ourselves believing that we are ‘bougie’, we are off the mark, let us humble ourselves. When we catch ourselves gossiping, let us stop judging and humble ourselves. When we are negative, miserable, and impatient with others, we are falling short of Christ’s standard, we need to humble ourselves. Our discipleship commitment to Christ is to be even stronger than our commitment to people in our lives whom there is nothing that we wouldn’t do. As a parent, I would die in my child’s stead. That level of passion and conviction is how we are to love and to serve the Lord.
