God is Holy,
lives in Holy place, not in corrupt body - live a holy live to get God’s help
Corruption
spread like Flu, spread in air. It is also like infectious diseases. If one
work in a corrupt practice place, he may also be infected, he may be made
involve. It is as dangerous as contagious diseases. If the big boss is corrupt
his lower worker may get involve as the bribe givers are very expert. They set
such a trap that inexperience person will never know it was bribery. They will
offer you saying “This is for your cup of tea”. The second time bigger. Third
time you are trapped.
In
Christian life, it is the most condemnable. Not only in corruption of money and
power, corruption in character is the most dreaded, which spread like wave. It
kills character, body and soul. It damaged image, prestige, unworthy to be
called Christian.
Let
us consult the Book of books, the Bible what it tells us about corruption;
The
Bible tells us that Judas Iscariot had taken a bribe and handed over Jesus to
enemies. After Jesus died and risen up
he died:- “( With the money that Judas
got for his evil act he bought a field, where he fell to his death; he burst
open and all his bowels split out” Acts 1:18
“But those who want to get rich falls into
temptation and are caught in the trap of many foolish and harmful desires,
which pull them down to ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a source
of all kinds of evil. Some have been so eager to have it that they have
wandered away from the faith and have broken their hearts with many sorrows.”
I Timothy 6:8-10).
God
is the creator of man and every created things of the universe. God is Holy.
God dwell, lives in Holy place only. To get help from God, one must live a Holy
life. God abide ( be with) only with those who live a holy live. To be success
in anything you do, God’s help is a must. Yes, some may succeed, but only
temporarily, end up suddenly, unable to enjoy the fruits of his success. Again, some
become very rich, great personality, but have no peace of mind. Real success
must be accompanied by peace of mind and real happiness.
About Real Success, the Bible says:
“Happy are those, who reject the advice
of evil men, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no
use for God. Instead, they find joy in studying the Law of the Lord, and they
study it day and night. They are like trees that grow besides a stream, that
bear fruit at the right time; They
succeed in everything they do.”
(Psalms 1:1-3)
Write
‘Amen’ if you commit to study the Bible and pray daily. God bless you.
The
Bible teaches us to Love others.
“
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we ought to love one another” (I John
4:11)
Not
just love but deeply love
“ Above all, love each other deeply, because
love covers a multitude of sins.” ( I Peter 4:8)
Paul
says “ Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices
with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always
perseveres.” ( I Corinthians 13: 4-7).
Loving
others has no place for corruption. ICorinthians 6:15 “Do you not know that
your bodies are members of Christ?....”
ICorinthians
6:19 “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?”
ICorinthians
6:15 “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?....”
ICorinthians
6:19 “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?”
Let
us conclude that we must be free from corruption. Live a holy live. Love each
other as Jesus love us. We must help to others, instead of taking bribe. We
must not tolerate corruption.
Let
us pray so that we may live a holy live, free from corruption, free from sin as
demand by the Lord. Also pray to God that He (Jesus Christ) may send His Holy
Spirit to teach us, Guide us, help us live such a live, worthy to be accepted
by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us also pray for the people and
Government of India, so that India may become a corrupt free country, instead
accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour
and the people may love each other , establish peace and developed
society.
