Galatians 5:9 " A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump".
We who profess Christ have been called into a life of holiness and perfection.We are called to be Christ like, to be the light upon a hill that will lead those in darkness into God's marvelous light.Our life is no longer our own, we have been bought with a price.Not with the corruptible gold or silver, but with the incorruptible blood of Jesus and we now must walk worthy of the name that we bear.
We are the salt of the earth, called to bear fruit and fruit that will last,and as such we must be mindful of all that we do and the places we go.We are our brothers keeper and if eating meat will cause our brother to stumble we must be careful not to eat meat before him.It doesn't take much for our good to be evil spoken of, and go from being a light house to a stumbling block.No we can't live our lives based on what others might say or do, but we must at all times live a life that is pleasing to God and that will lead a lost soul to seek salvation.We can't always live holy but we can always be holy.We might not always live perfect ,but we must remember to be ye perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect.
Here Paul tells us that a little sin makes it all sin.A little lie makes it all a lie.When traveling on this upward road just a little wrong turn can take us off the path of righteousness. Let us stay focus and keep our mind on Jesus and let Him direct our paths that we will continue to be a light house and not a stumbling block....
