Ambition
|
No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is God.
John 5:44 (New Living Translation)
How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God?
John 5:44 (New International Version)
How do you expect to get anywhere with God when you spend all your time jockeying for position with each other, ranking your rivals and ignoring God?
John 5:44 (The Message)
This is a very eye opening passage. What types of honor do you think it’s referring to. When reading it, I thought of obeying commands as showing honor.
