Live What You Teach

Live What You Teach - Romans 2:21

INTRODUCTION

It is easy to tell others what to do and how to do it, but it is much more difficult to follow one’s own teaching. In fact, it appears to be human nature to expect from others what one cannot expect from himself. This very issue was discussed in the council of Acts 15. Peter concluded that it was not right to ask others to bear a yoke that previous generations had been unable to bear (Acts 15:10). Believers should not, however, change their teaching to fit their obedience. Rather, believers ought to obey the truth and teach it to others. How many preachers and teachers have spoken about subject matters only to refuse to obey the very truths they taught?

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTS

  • (For smaller children) Paul told Timothy not only to teach, but to be a good example (1 Timothy 4:11-12). When we do wrong, we may cause others not to believe in God or to think that they don't have to do what He says. King David's sin gave God's enemies great occasion to speak against Him (2 Samuel 12:14).
  • What truths have you taught to others only to disregard them yourself? How does this harm those to whom you initially taught the truth?
  • How many people have been turned away from the truths you taught because of your own disobedience to the truth? What will you do to mend what you have broken?

PRAYER NEEDS

  • Ask the Lord to help you live what you teach.
  • Ask the Lord to make you an example for other believers.
