Obedience and Innocence
Romans 16:17-19
17 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.19 But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong.
God asks us to be wise in doing right and innocent in what is wrong. We can live this out in our lives by being obedient to what God has asked us to do while making sure to stay away from sin and what is not from God. Being disobedient to God is what causes us to fall away from salvation and leads us into division.
Challenge: Read Romans 16. Reflect on what areas you may need to remove from your life so that you will not be tempted to fall into sin/division
