Decide Today Who You Will Be.

S-Galatians 2:11-13

S-"So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure that you stay free and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." Galatians 5:1

A-Freedom IN Christ

L-Hypocrisy

       -"But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him publicly  speaking strongly against what he was doing, for it was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who don't bother with circumcision. But afterward, when some Jewish friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore because he was afraid of what these legalists would say. Then the other Jewish Christians followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was influenced to join them in their hypocrisy." Galatians 2:11-13

 There are 3 very important things we need to take away from this passage.

1. Don't compromise your faith to fit in.

2. Don't fear what others will think or say about you.

3. Don't be a bad influence/hypocrite.

Brethren, these passages are so profound, and if we simply read over them without applying them, then we will be missing some very important advice and warning from the Lord.

We can't take this lightly. We have began to compromise WAY to much.

So let me ask you today, do you compromise God's truth to fit in with different groups of people?

Does your demeanor, speech, and behavior change?

Do you fear what others will say about you, if you stand out for Christ?

Whether we are willing to admit or answer these questions honestly, people notice, and so does the Lord.

Decide today who you will be. A follower of Christ that stands firm, is the same at home, in public and around all people, or one that tries to fit different molds in order to be liked and fit in. Therefore compromising your faith, worrying more about man's opinion rather than Christ's, and one who carries the name hypocrite.

Jesus let these words from Galatians 2:11-13 fall firmly on our hearts today. Don't let us walk away with out making a change. Convict us and teach us. Let us no longer compromise our faith or fear the thoughts of man. Amen.

S-Share this passage with someone today and ask them to keep you accountable.
