Matthew 5:36-38

Like God’s Word

The Lord is a constant So His Word does not change – Heb.

13:7-9 No matter how much man might God is longsuffering – Mal. 3:6-7

Being Honest

This is half of being consistent, because lies do not agree

Why the Law of Moses demanded two witnesses – Deut. 19:15-19

God dwells with those that tell the truth – Psa. 15:1-3

Honesty is not always easy

Not Changing for Convenience Saying one thing, doing another – Matt.

23:1-4 Or saying what people want to hear –

Eph. 4:11-14 Or perhaps changing our stance

because of personal feelings – Gal. 2:11-14

Jesus did none of these things!

Conclusion

If you wear Christ’s name, He expects you to say what you mean & mean what you say. Being consistent gives our preaching & teaching credibility and lets us shine our lights before others.
