“I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line.” -Isaiah 28:17
Righteousness is the plumbline of God, it is his measuring tool...
Children can only produce the character of their parents when there is a close contact with them over a period of time. Closeness and proximity are strong agents of mentorship, discipleship, parenting and followership.
Cain had a nonchalant attitude towards his worship and service of God. He never wanted to do his best for God, he wanted to be allowed to put in whatever is good to him. Hence, his sacrifice and worship were rejected.
As Christians we are in a blood covenant with God. This covenant was established by Christ Jesus and sealed with His blood.
In this Holy covenant is an agreement; God has His own role to play and we as Christians, have our own role to play. God’s ability to keep His part is the faithfulness of God to His Covenant.
Christian, who are you in the secret and who are you in the open? In your work place, at home, in your school environment, before your friends, away from possible reprimand, do you represent Christ or are you just like those who don’t know God? This question will help you judge yourself on this matter. For God cannot be mocked.
Show me a Christian who fears God and I'll show you a man who serves God in truth. Do we not know that David whom God attested to be a man after God's own heart had one secret? He feared God! For He said, "The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed."
