Biblical Honor: It’s for The Body of Christ!
The Good work of honor is the responsibility of every Born Again Believer at the foundational level of Jesus Christ! If the foundation is faulty everything else concerning HONOR will have cracks in it, and it will be compromised. Is your foundation of Honor faulty?
Honor is the Action of RESPECT OR HIGHLY ESTEEM of another Because of the VALUE GOD has placed on their life!
As a Born Again Christian, given The Good Work, The Way of Jesus Christ, you are to highly esteem and value another brother or sister in Christ because God Said So!
This is crucial for the RENEWED MIND IN JESUS CHRIST! Your thoughts concerning the things of God are not that you rationalize IF it works for you but you replace your thoughts for HIS! (Is55:8-9)
God tells us to “honor one another” (Rom12:10) AND to “honor one another above ourselves”. (Rom12:10) The FOUNDATION of HONOR is reciprocal! That means IF you are BORN AGAIN if you are filled with Holy Spirit if you are following Christ if you are expecting the Coming of your Lord in Salvation…then you are to HONOR one another!
Whether set, anointed, gifted, appointed, elected, or chosen in the Body of Christ, we are to HONOR one another! (Ephesians 4) I am to HONOR you and you to HONOR me! That we BOTH are esteemed, respected, and valued in the life of another, no matter the position of God in The Body of Christ!
Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, the Exalted King of Kings, the Son of God, the Son of Man, the Prophet and Teacher of God…HONORED the Creator through the emptying of Himself for the Will of God. And He honored the world, by thinking of them above Himself and Died on the Cross, that all may be given the gift of Life. Now that’s an example on Honor!
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE!
In the image and likeness of Him, we are to in our Righteous Life demonstrate this Way of Honor to another!
The family of God in Jesus Christ is worthy of your love, time, comfort, kind words, smile, help, finances, gifts, mercy, and let go on and on! Why did Jesus form us to “work” like this?
It builds us! It’s called EDIFICATION!
The body of Christ builds each other up through Honoring one another. We build each other up in our Godly morals, in our faith and the faithfulness of God, in the knowledge of God, and the holiness of God in our lives. We need the HONOR of another to be strong and grow! All of us, no matter our position or place in the Body of Christ, we all need to be built.
There is a reason we are Built to Honor Each Other! Be Renewed in your Mind!
Romans 15:2-3
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it s written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on Me.”
Let’s Continue to Build and Grow in the Knowledge of Biblical Honor!
