Live True To Your Conviction - Pastor Ekpenyong

Galatians 2:12TPT
“He enjoyed being with the non-Jewish believers who didn’t keep the Jewish customs, eating his meals with them — up until the time the Jewish friends of James arrived from Jerusalem. When he saw them, he withdrew from his non-Jewish friends and separated himself from them, acting like an orthodox Jew — fearing how it would look to them if he ate with the non-Jewish believers.”

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to go against what you believe and know to be true because of the fear of people’s reactions?

Well that’s what our conversation is about today. Peter found himself in this situation.
Refuse to conform to opinions and expectations of you when they are not consistent with who you are in Christ as a new creation.

Choose to major on what is major for us as new creations in Christ and minimize on what God isn’t maximizing.

When you stand for what you know is the truth, you won’t be standing alone forever because in no distant time people and circumstances will conform to who you are in Christ.

For we can do nothing against the truth neither serve any party nor personal interest but only for the truth which is the gospel.

Therefore, be bold and live true to your convictions. 

Glory!
