Live Up

Philippians 3:16 “Only let us live up to what we have already attained.”

When I was growing up, my Mom used to have this saying she’d tell me after I did something that I knew I shouldn’t have done.

Mom would always say, “Jonathan, you know better.”

This verse kinda says the same thing…

I have no excuse.

I am accountable for the knowledge that I have.

If I know something, yet ignore the application of it, I’m being disobedient.

I think it’s a problem in today’s culture…
To know the right stuff, yet fail to apply the right actions.

I’ll be held accountable for what I know and what I do with it.

So will you.

Let’s live up to what we know.

Let’s live up to the calling we’ve attained.
