SERMON OF THE WEEK

VIRTIOUSNESS

The word virtiousness means to have or show virtue, while virtue is moral goodness or excellence. Virtiousness centres on while morality stresses on integrity. Virtousness also deals on chastity, which is purity or non-defilement with any form of sexual immorality.

Virtousness is also a product of goodness. Little wonder it is called moral goodness or integrity. Dear, as good as morality, it is not what makes you a child lf God. Thus, living a life of morality and integrity is not a substitute for Christianity.

However, it is imperative to note that as a child of God, the place of morality and integrity cannot be ruled out.The point being made is that morality does not qualify or make you a Christian, but as a christian; you need to exhibit the fruit of morality and integrity.

Honey, the preaching of the wonders of grace grace, does not undermine the fact that will must live morally and with integrity. There is no dispute that grace has to do with the extravagant mercies of God towards us irrespective of all our sins and wrongs. Now does grace now give us the license to live immoral lives?. Thus in reacting to this, Apostle Paul was quick to say: What shall we say then? shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Romans 6 :1

Sweetheart, he was simply asking that should
we begin to live immoral lives (a life without virtue), because His mercy is always available to pardon us? However, he was quick to respond: God forbid (Vs 2). It follows that grace does not give us the ground to live an immoral life.

Morality excersised before being born again amounts to self righteousness.However, upon being born again; it is imperative that we live a virtuous and moral life.
Jesus spoke to the woman caught in adultery saying.... neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more. John 5:1

She was liberated and told to go and live a moral and virtuous life henceforth. Virtousness is a must if we intend to influence our world and all around us with the gospel of Christ. We must begin to live our lives based on God's standard (virtousness) and not ours. We must show forth the light in us by displaying virtiousness.

Honey it is important for me to say that the subject of virtousness and holiness are closely related. However, they still have their difference. While virtousness deals on an outward display of morality; holiness on the other hand first begins from the heart as righteousness, before it begins to produce the fruit of morality, purity and holiness.
Morality and virtousness is a product of self-descipline, but holiness is a product of renewing your mind daily with the word of God and addiction to the Holy Spirit. Roman 12:1-3

I IMPLORE YOU TO BEGIN TO LIVE A LIFE OF VIRTUE

PRAYER

1- HELP ME LORD TO LIVE A LIFE FULL OF VIRTUE

2- STRENGTHEN ME TO LIVE MORALLY AND UPRIGHTLY SHOWING FORTH THE LIGHT OF THE KINGDOM IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
