How can we teach others to "keep My judgments" in modern society? Core Verse “I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and practice them.” What “My Judgments” Means • God’s timeless decisions about right and wrong • Moral standards that reveal His character (Psalm 19:9) • Practical instructions for daily life (Deuteronomy 6:24) Start by Living It • Consistent obedience makes teaching believable (1 Timothy 4:12) • Let Scripture reform habits: speech, finances, entertainment choices (James 1:22) • Confess quickly when you fail—authenticity invites learners (1 John 1:9) Teach Through Relationships • Invite others into your life: meals, projects, celebrations (Acts 2:46-47) • Model decision-making by asking, “Does this honor the Lord’s judgment on this issue?” • Share personal testimonies of choosing biblical standards over cultural pressure Teach Through Scripture Saturation • Read aloud together—short passages daily (Deuteronomy 6:6-7) • Memorize key verses that define God’s judgments (Psalm 119:11) • Explain context and literal meaning before applying Suggested passages: – Exodus 20:1-17 (moral foundation) – Matthew 5-7 (Jesus clarifies the Law) – Romans 12 (living sacrifice in society) Teach Through Culture Engagement • Discuss news, films, social media: “Where does this align or clash with God’s judgments?” • Encourage respectful public dialogue (1 Peter 3:15) • Support believers in professions where biblical ethics are tested—medicine, business, education Teach Through Service • Organize hands-on projects—feeding the hungry, visiting the sick (James 1:27) • Connect each act to a specific judgment of God (e.g., justice, compassion, honesty) • Service demonstrates that God’s standards bless others Disciple with Accountability • Small groups of two or three for honesty and prayer (Proverbs 27:17) • Set measurable goals: weekly verse memory, acts of kindness, media choices • Review progress; celebrate obedience, correct gently when needed (Galatians 6:1) Depend on the Spirit • Ezekiel 36:27: “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.” • Remind learners that true obedience flows from new birth, not mere willpower (John 3:5-6) Encourage Perseverance • Hebrews 10:24: motivate one another toward love and good deeds • Share biographies of believers who upheld God’s judgments under pressure • Keep eternity in view—future reward strengthens present resolve (2 Corinthians 4:17) Takeaway Teach others to keep God’s judgments by living them out, grounding every lesson in Scripture, integrating truth into daily relationships, engaging culture with conviction and grace, serving practically, maintaining loving accountability, and relying on the Holy Spirit’s power. |
