Message

There was a boy in a secondary school. He was one of the school fellowship leaders. He was very eloquent, and dynamic in public speaking. He could hold the fellowship spell bound and gain people’s attention for hours. Most young people enjoyed going to fellowship because of him. A few months before the final school certificate examination, he was discovered to be involved in immoral relationships with some female students in the fellowship and it became a big scandal in the entire school. His life was the opposite of godliness.

Why share this with you? The fundamental reason why we are Christians is to have the godly character. Our text places godliness above gifts in spiritual value. Righteousness separates us from the crowd and shows our identity as born-again children of God. Skill and talent are good for the work of God but they don’t last forever.  Godly character is the only evidence that we are children of God.
