Amen Me!

Let Us Walk in This Way

From time to time, I find wisdom, not only in the Word of God as written in the Bible, but also from Christians who have long proceeded us in our walk with God. The below is a quote taken from an epistle (circa 95 AD) written by St. Clement (who was a disciple of Peter) to the church at Corinth.

As the Apostle Paul had stated in Philippians 4:8;

Furthermore, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things pertain to love,
whatsoever things are of good report,
if there be any virtue,
or if there be any praise, think on these things;

I think these words qualify for all of the above.

1“LET us, therefore, humble ourselves, brethren, laying aside all pride, and boasting, and foolishness, and anger: (1) And let us do as it is written.
2 For thus saith the Holy Spirit; Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the rich man in his riches; but let him that glorieth, glory in the Lord, to seek him, and to do judgment and justice.
3 Above all, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, which he spake concerning equity and long suffering, saying, (2)
4 Be ye merciful and ye shall obtain mercy; forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: as ye do, so shall it be done unto you: as ye give, so shall it be given unto you: as ye judge, so shall ye be judged; as ye are kind to others so shall God be kind to you: with what measure ye mete, with the same shall it be measured to you again.
5 By this command, and by these rules, let us establish ourselves, that so we may always walk obediently to his holy words; being humble minded"(3)
