Are you who you are, wherever you go?

Yes.



QT:
2 Corinthians 13 - Galatians 2

[ Galatians 1 : 10 ]
10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

[ Galatians 2 : 19-21 ]
19For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"[d]

God spoke to me two important truths. Firstly, are we seeking God's approval or Men's approval? Many of us would say we seek God's approval but ultimately, are you actually believing it or just saying it? We are all people who are obsessed with how others look,judge,comment on us that we take deliberate efforts to make our physical appearances look more appealing to the public. That is actually an action of seeking Men's approval. Secondly, our lives are bought by Christ. We should live a righteous, blameless life to the best of our ability by god's grace and strength to last us through. If not , Christ really died for nothing.
Take note:
1) Behaviour and attitudes.Perception.
2) Being aware of what we do, who we are daily.
