Today we finish up the series on Honor. The true disciple of Christ, the one who desires to mature in their walk with God, is one who has learned to honor God. If we want God to honor us, we must first honor Him. How? We’ve learned over the past few weeks that honor requires
Each of these attributes of honor are really actions on our part. Some actions, like humbling ourselves, can’t be readily seen by others. You and I can’t see the heart behind the attitude. The more we mature in our walk with God though, the more we can identify the fruit of the attitude. In other words, we can see the fruit of humility even if we can’t see the heart decision to be humble.
Even in giving, the most outward action of honor, we can’t see the heart behind the action. Jesus stood in the temple one day and watched the people give. Those who were giving the most money ended up being the ones doing it for show. It was the one who gave the largest percentage who had the most faith and gave with the right heart. Jordon’s series on the condition of the heart ties so neatly into this message. I love when we see the work of the Holy Spirit.
