WALKING UPRIGHTLY ACCORDING TO THE TRUTH

In Galatians 2:11 and Ephesians 5:1, the call to live a life aligned with our faith is emphasized. Just attending church doesn't make one a true Christian, as illustrated in Matthew 3:8 and James 2:18. When Peter ceased associating with Gentiles to please the Jews (Galatians 3:26-30), he acted contrary to the inclusive love of Christ (Mark 2:15-17). True faith manifests in honesty and moral integrity in every aspect of life, fostering peace in communities. We must remain authentic to our beliefs, resisting the temptations of inconsistencies.
