The Importance Of Obedience

Romans 16:19 Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. A conversation kind of bothered me yesterday, the idea of someone belittling me for trying to live with righteous intent just didn't sit well with me. I remarked to someone yesterday that I considered myself wholesome, not perfect but wholesome there is a difference. I said that the only way i that I know to remain wholesome is to stay prayed up. Well she said that I was the first wholesome person that she knew over the age of 30! Well maybe that is the problem and it's problem because association bring about assimilation. For the Bible says, to be ye holy for I AM holy, so make no mistake about that point! 1 Peter 1:16...God is holy and wholesome will help you to be holy some of us even those who claim to be Christian shun wholesome people. Why is that? But if we are striving to live right then we need to be in close association with some others who striving to live right besides just us. The part of the problem too many of think that we are an island or we constantly choosing associate with the wrong people. There such a thing as guilty by association, so be wise about the company that you keep. Some people won't help build up anything that is positive, some will only tear down that which is good in you. 20. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
