Bible Lesson: Marks Of Godly Character Versus Marks Of Non-Christian Character: Honor Versus Dishonor.
Bible Texts:
Honor:
Romans 2:10 KJV
But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Dishonor:
Romans 2:13 KJV
(For not the hearers of The Law are just before God, but the doers of The Law shall be justified.
The Word, Honor:
Deuteronomy 5:16 KJV Honor thy father and thy mother, as The Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which The Lord thy God giveth thee.
I Samuel 2:30 NLT "...I will honor those who honor Me, and I will despise those who think lightly of Me."
Proverbs 3:9 KJV Honor The Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
Romans 12:9-13 NLT 9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve The Lord enthusiastically.
12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
Romans 13:1-7 KJV
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.
I Timothy 5:17,18 KJV
17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labor in The Word and Doctrine.
18 For The Scripture saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his reward.
Hebrews 13:18 KJV
Pray for us, for our conscience is clear and we want to live honorably in everything we do.
I Peter 2:13-17 NLT (Respecting People in Authority)
13 For The Lord’s sake, submit to all human authority—whether the king as head of state,
14 or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right.
15 It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. 16 For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
17 Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king.
The Word, Dishonor:
Leviticus 21:13-15 NLT
13 “The high priest may marry only a virgin.
14 He may not marry a widow, a woman who is divorced, or a woman who has defiled herself by prostitution. She must be a virgin from his own clan,
15 so that he will not dishonor his descendants among his clan, for I am The Lord who makes him holy.”
Deuteronomy 27:16 NLT
‘Cursed is anyone who dishonors father or mother.’ And all the people will reply, ‘Amen.’
Psalm 4:2 ERV
Men, how long will you try to dishonor Me? Do you enjoy wasting your time searching for new lies against Me? Selah
Proverbs 3:35 ERV
The way the wise live will bring them honor, but the way fools live will bring them shame.
John 8:49 KJV
“No,” Jesus said, “I have no demon in Me. For I honor My Father—and you dishonor Me.
Acts 5:41 ERV
The apostles left the council meeting. They were happy because they were given the honor of suffering dishonor for Jesus.
Romans 1:24 KJV
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:
Romans 2:23 NLT
You are so proud of knowing The Law, but you dishonor God by breaking it.
Prayer:
I Timothy 1:17 KJV
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
