Presentation transcript:

Matthew 5:36-38

Like God’s Word  The Lord is a constant  So His Word does not change – Heb. 13:7-9  No matter how much man might  God is longsuffering – Mal. 3:6-7

Being Honest  This is half of being consistent, because lies do not agree  Why the Law of Moses demanded two witnesses – Deut. 19:15-19  God dwells with those that tell the truth – Psa. 15:1-3  Honesty is not always easy

Not Changing for Convenience  Saying one thing, doing another – Matt. 23:1-4  Or saying what people want to hear – Eph. 4:11-14  Or perhaps changing our stance because of personal feelings – Gal. 2:11-14  Jesus did none of these things!

Conclusion If you wear Christ’s name, He expects you to say what you mean & mean what you say. Being consistent gives our preaching & teaching credibility and lets us shine our lights before others.
