Message
A code of conduct is a set of rules outlining the norms, rules, and responsibilities or proper practices guiding a group or an organization. A company’s code of conduct is a set of rules which is commonly written for employees of that company so that they can be well-informed of the company’s expectations. Failure of an employee to follow a company’s cod e of con duct can have n egative consequences.
God has established a standard of behaviour for Christians. Friends of Jesus must follow God’s requirements in order to live in heaven with Him. You are expected to be truthful, just, and righteous in your daily walk with God. Because God is merciful, you are expected to love God, love others, and show mercy to those around you. Follow God’s word and walk in humility before Him. Jesus demonstrated humility throughout His ministry; His friends must also be humble. The grace of God is available to every believer to abide with God’s given code of conduct.
