IN FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS PART 3

HOW TO BUILD A REPUTABLE CHARACTER JUST AS JESUS 

 First of all I would love to start by clearing the air on what reputable character is ?

Reputable means having a good reputation and we all know as christians there is nothing as reputable as living based on the LIVING WORD OF GOD (Heb 11:39a "And these all, having obtained a good report through faith ...")
Character means having your yes to be yes and your no to be no from Matt 5:37.

Another question arises would you just say yes to whatever comes and no to whatever comes just like that ?
 The answer emphatically is NO!!!

Then what are you to say YES and NO to ?

Jesus was simply saying that we should have a value system that is based on the LIVING WORD OF GOD and stand by it at all times even in trying circumstances and so on.

For instance as a married man who found from scriptures you are meant to be loyal to your wife and keeping your marriage bed pure and undefiled (Heb 13:4) and also knowing from the words of JESUS CHRIST adultery begins from lusting after a woman in your heart (Matt 5:28)
You create a value system from these scsriptures never to lust after any girl but rather to love your wife just as CHRIST LOVES THE CHURCH (Eph 5:25, Col 3:19)
You would be tempted but from Matt 5:37 Jesus is saying stand and say NO (CAPITAL NO!!!)based on your value system which is from the WORD OF GOD and stand by it and not wavering in the faith.

BUILDING CHARACTER IS BASED ON YOUR PERSONAL VALUE SYSTEM AS A BELIEVER
In essence GOD expects that we know what HE says from HIS word as pertaining every aspect of our lives as Christians recalling that CHRISTIANITY calls us to a royal priestly ordination where we are to reign as Kings through the wisdom of the WORD OF GOD (1st Peter 2:9, Rom 5:17, Prov 8:15, 1st Cor 1:30)

SO BUILDING A REPUTABLE CHARACTER IS DEPENDENT ON OUR VALUE SYSTEM AS CHRISTIANS AND ALSO AS AN INDIVIDUAL...
