00:00: Today's question is, what does it mean to be a man of God? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective.
00:08: Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.
00:21: Man of God is the description given to a man that follows God in every way, who obeys
00:28: His commands with joy, who does not live for the things of this life but for the things of eternity, who willingly serves his
00:36: God in giving freely of all his resources yet gladly suffers as a consequence of his faith.
00:43: Perhaps Micah 6 verse 8 sums up the man of God in one neat verse.
00:49: "'He has showed you, O man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your
00:58: God.'" The man of God does not swindle or defraud his employer by turning up late for work or spending an hour on the internet during work hours.
01:08: He doesn't gossip or slander. He keeps his mind and heart pure by guarding his eyes and ears from the filth of this world.
01:17: He is the spiritual leader of his family. He does everything opposite to what the world does or approves of.
01:24: He goes against the grain of society because he knows these things displease God.
01:29: He considers those who are disadvantaged or those rejected by society, those who are lonely or despairing.
01:36: He is a listener to other people's problems and does not judge. Most of all, the man of God understands that when our
01:44: Lord commanded him to be perfect, therefore as your heavenly Father is perfect, Matthew 5 verse 48, he is only able to accomplish that because God enables him to be holy and blameless in His sight,
01:58: Ephesians 1 verse 4, through His power and the indwelling of His Spirit.
02:04: On our own, we are incapable of holiness and perfection, but through Christ who strengthens us we can do all things,
02:12: Philippians 4 verse 13. The man of God knows that his new nature is that of the righteousness of Christ, which was exchanged for our sinful nature at the cross, 2
02:23: Corinthians 5 verse 17. The final result is that he walks humbly with his
02:29: God, knowing that he must rely solely upon Him to be able to live to the full and preserve to the end.
02:37: Perhaps the Christian today is lacking in these qualities, but this is what simple religion is all about, the simple religion that is yet sufficient to please
02:45: God, helping those in distress and keeping oneself from being polluted by the world, James 1 verse 23.
02:53: We can have an awareness of all biblical doctrines. We can know all the theological terms.
02:58: We may be able to translate the Bible from the original Greek and so on. But the principle of Micah 6 verse 8 is the principle that the man of God must follow – act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
