Christian is as Christian does. It’s not about what people say.
Proverbs 17:3
Christians don’t handle things the same way. There is a difference between worldly and godly sorrow.
Not every one is sad or tripped out over something that should be an issue.
2 Corinthians 7:8-11
You may feel bad when being told about being wrong. That’s ok if it makes you change.
If you really have godly sorrow, then you have to have a response. You will change.
The sorrow of the world brings people to damage themselves and others.
They may keep repeating the actions that they feel bad about. God says that we can change.
Someone genuinely changing is going to be careful, conscientious about avoiding the same issues.
If you ever tell someone “I’m sorry” from here on, ask yourself what you’re going to do about it.
Hebrews 12:7-13
Just as we endure correction from parents, how much more do we accept and appreciate correction from God?
God corrects you and it doesn’t feel good at the time, but it brings about good when you make the change.
You can’t just feel bad and be idle in your sadness.
Proverbs 17:4
If you like being involved in mess, it’s because you’re messy.
Foolish like lies and liars like nasty.
1 Corinthians 15:33
What you hang around and choose to allow into your system will affect you?
Have you noticed that the more you hang around people the more you talk like them, thinking like them?
If you’re thinking about godly stuff, then it is what comes out of you. Stay around filthiness and it will affect you.
People claim that Jesus was just hanging around with sinners, making it sound like He was in their sin.
He was teaching and preaching, not sinning.
Don’t listen to everything, believe everything.
