This is my first blog- i ask myself what is a blog? Is it worth having? I'm a facebook addict so how is this useful to me?
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 "For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. "
That passage is the reason behind my name, the reason behind the name of this blog. Conisder this, You Christian are of noble birth. You were not wise, you were not powerful, and you were not noble- but now you are. A child of the king, should live nobly. Holiness is the mark of our God. * Notice to the reader, we must consider humility- no one has any right to boast- our nobility is not our own, but God's. Holy does not mean "holier than thou." Be Humble. Love People. Lose Self.
How do we follow his command "You Shall be holy for I am Holy" (1 Peter 1:16)... Well first off start with 1 corinthians 1- Wisdom. I think it is clear that holiness is arrayed in wisdom. Re-read those verse. "God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise." God's wisdom is not man's wisdom- they don't meet anywhere in the middle. What God calls folly, man calls wise; what men call foolishness God calls wisdom and that's right, confuses those very same men, putting them to shame.
So next time the world tells me to do something, I'll think twice and not jump right into it because to God it may be foolishness. And since we wear a noble title, let's not misrepresent our Kingly Father and Savior Jesus Christ.
