Cultivating a Culture of Honor – Part 1

Respect. Treating people with dignity. Honor. These are things that are very precious to the Lord. He wants people to treat others well. When God created the first man and first woman, God created them to reflect some of his qualities. He made them to be like him in some ways. This means that every person has great value to God and must be treated by people with respect and honor. So, the Lord commands that we treat people with dignity and honor. The Lord speaks of his expectation that we treat each other with honor in so many parts of the Bible. The Bible is filled with stories, commands, punishment for trampling on the rights of people, and blessings for treating other people well. Today, we will look at some of these stories and teachings. The goal is to help us gain a greater understanding of the great importance of honor in God’s kingdom and to inspire and empower us to cultivate a culture of honor in our families, life groups, work environments, at school, in the community, and in the church. This pleases God and can result to unbelievable blessings for those who do what God wants. Whatever your need or situation may be today, know that the Lord wants to lift you up and bring you to the next level of your relationship with him. He wants you to become a great leader for Christ. Receive God’s blessing for your life today!
