Habit # 7:
Persistent Life of Righteousness
The Seven Spiritual Habits of a Maturing Messianic Jewish Faith
Repeating the Series Theme:
Discipline is an active pursuit toward personal development.
Spiritual Discipline is living out G-d's expectations for his people to learn of him
and to actively accustom themselves to living their lives his way!
The seventh spiritual habit is a Persistent Life of Righteousness. People today want to know if your religious faith is genuine. The reality of your faith is proven by the changes it brings into your life!
As followers of the Messiah Yeshua we are commanded to be holy as the
L-RD our G-d is holy. Yeshua also commanded us to live without
hypocrisy, and to go beyond just the written understanding of Scripture
to embrace the spirit of the commands. We must pursue holy living as
followers of Messiah, being willing to set aside actions and activities
that in any way hurt our testimony and hinder our ability to live
unencumbered for Messiah Yeshua.
