Share
📝 In this powerful blog post, we’re diving deep into the difference between saying it and meaning it through action—and how this impacts peace. When we carry out our words with honorable actions, we reflect God’s character. 💕
✨ Key Takeaway: Honor is not just spoken—it’s shown. When we honor God and follow through with integrity, He uses us as a vessel of peace to meet the needs of others.
🔎 What Is Honor According to Scripture?
📖 Romans 12:10 (GNB) – "Love one another warmly as Christians and be eager to show respect for one another."
-
Honor is genuine love in action—treating others with respect, dignity, and care.
-
It’s putting others before yourself and keeping your word.
📖 Proverbs 3:9-10 (GNB) – "Honor the Lord by making him an offering from the best of all that your land produces. If you do, your barns will be filled with grain, and you will have too much wine to store it all."
-
Honoring God means giving Him our best—our time, resources, and obedience.
✨ Why Do We Honor God?
✅ Because He Is Our Provider: God meets every need—spiritually, physically, and emotionally.

✅ Because He Is the Same Forever:
📖 Hebrews 13:8 (GNB) – "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
-
God’s consistency gives us peace. When we honor Him, we align with His everlasting truth.
🌟 Who Is Our Example of Honor?
🙌 Jesus Christ is our ultimate example of honor.

📖 John 8:29 (GNB) – "The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him." -
Following Jesus’ example means living honorably in both word and action.
