Respect Others

Today I read Leviticus 24:22-25:49 and Luke 5:23-6:12. My favorite verses are:

Leviticus 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

Luke 5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

God expects His saved people to behave differently than lost people. The way you treat others is a good indicator of whether Christ lives in you. If you fear God and obey Him, you will show respect to others; you will not take advantage of people who find themselves helpless. People who think they are too good for God because they are successful in the world’s eyes often treat others with contempt. This is evidence that they DO need God whether they realize it or not. As you go about your business today, treat those people you come in contact with the way Jesus would have treated them—have compassion and respect for others.
