Christian Value: Value God
Christian Value: Value God
A core Christian value is having God first in our lives. This means continuously seeking His righteousness and totally relying on Him. As humans we have the freedom of choice to decide what is right and what is wrong, but if we value God we will look to Him for what is right and wrong. Most of us have the resource of God’s Spirit and means of His Word to take care of ourselves, but if we honor God we will rely on Him to take care of our needs. We value God when we acknowledge that He knows better than we do on what we need in our lives.
Righteousness is a core Christian adoration. When a Christian accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, he or she is now in right standing with God. They are a “new man”. A Christian is now set-aside for God to be holy and righteous. Righteousness becomes more and more precious as a Christian grows in his or her love of God. A Christian seeks to do God's will and do what is right in God's eyes because he or she desires to strengthen their godly relationship with mankind and with God.
Love is a core of a Christian life. Christian love is called “agape” love which means unmerited favor. Christians realize this type of love through God. Because of God's unmerited favor and grace, He offers all of mankind eternal life through Jesus Christ. This is true love that comes from God. Christians in turn regards God's love and have a desire to provide this Godly love of unmerited favor to others.
