Christian Mottoes #145

Almost every organization has a motto, a short pithy statement by which the members strive to live. "Be Prepared," the Scout motto, is one of the best known.

There are also mottoes by which Christians should live. The Bible is filled with them. Take for example 1 Peter 2:17. "Honor all men; love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king." Here are guiding principles for all of us.

"Honor all men." Highly esteem all men, women, and children. They bear God’s image. Use common courtesy and show respect in all your dealings with all others.

"Love the brotherhood." The brotherhood is the church of Jesus Christ. It takes many forms. It exists throughout the world. This brotherhood is a fellowship of believers bound together by the Holy Spirit. Believers and unbelievers alike should love the church. Christ shed His precious blood for her.

"Fear God." The Bible says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge" (Proverbs 1:7). If we properly understand the world around us, ourselves, and our neighbors, we accept God for who He is. He is our Creator. We live with reverence for Him.

"Honor the king." We should honor those, whom God places in authority over us, even if we disagree with them. God puts them in place. He "removes kings and establishes kings" (Daniel 2:21). Implement these sayings.
