Oh, how easy it is to Measure and Compare our own faults against those of our brothers and sisters in the Lord.

The Apostle Pauls says, every Believer in Christ must carefully scrutinize our own conduct, examining and testing ourselves in comparison to Christ, for HE alone is the example worthy of that Honor!

If for one second, I think more highly of myself than I should, having a greater estimation of who or what I am, then as Paul states, I have mislead and even cheated myself, because I have not observed the the perfect law of Christ, nor have I fulfilled HIS commandment to bear another believer's burdens and faults.

Obedience to Christ, should be my ultimate desire, for HE is able by HIS Spirit to bless me with those good things from HIS bountiful storehouse of blessing, and as Paul later reveals, I will reap eternal life rather than a life of decay, ruin and destruction.

Therefore from my Obedience, I will receive greater Satisfaction and unmeasurable JOY, knowing that I am being made complete in HIS likeness, which pleases my Father God!
