what manner of person are you? - constant...
TRANSCRIPT
Volume 39 Number 34 August 21 , 2016
What Manner of Person Are You?
2 Peter 3:11, “Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and god-
liness.” In Deu. 14:12, Israel is told that they are the children of God, that
they are a holy people unto God and that the Lord has chosen them to be a
peculiar people. We know that Israel of old enjoyed the favor and blessings
of God beyond measure. Israel had the obligation to honor and obey the
Lord. Now, fast forward to the New Testament and study 2 Pet. 2:9. Here we
are told that we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation,
a peculiar people. Do you see the resemblance? Just like Israel, we enjoy
some marvelous blessings from God (2 Pet. 1:4; Col. 1:12-14; Matt. 6:24
-34). It is only reasonable for the Lord to expect you and I to be the kind
of people that will bring honor and glory to Him (Matt. 5:16).
What manner of persons should we be? We ought to be people
who are determined to do what is right according to God’s word (I Cor.
16:13; Acts 4:19; Heb. 10:23). We ought to be people who will never
compromise the truth or pervert it in any way (Col. 1:6-9; I Tim. 4:11-15; 2
John 9). We ought to be people who are dependable and willing to ac-
cept our responsibilities (I Cor. 15:58; I Thess. 5:14-22; Eph. 4:21-32). We
ought to be people who are setting an example in commitment, work, giving,
prayer, attendance, love for God, each other and our fellowman (I Tim. 4:12;
Mark 12:30; I John 4:7-12). Are you this type of person?

It is an honor to have you join us in worship at the
Northside Church of Christ! Our mission is to save
souls and to help souls stay saved. We extend our
sincere love towards you and we encourage you to take
advantage of the opportunity to have a bible study with
members who are eager to study with you. If you do not
share our like faith, this bible study, as well as your visit
today, offers a two way opportunity: (1) We have the
chance to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ and
the essential steps to salvation. (2) You have the chance
to hear, believe, repent, confess, and be baptized where-
by being added to the Church of Christ. We welcome
you to investigate what you hear and see today. You
will be able to ask your biblical questions and receive
biblical answers that will guide you to make an in-
formed, life changing decision. Thank you for being our
special guest! Please come again.

Did You Tell Someone About Jesus?
Matt. 28:19-20 is the great
commission given to members of
the body of Christ. As Christians,
it is our responsibility to Tell,
Talk and Teach others about
Jesus. Telling someone about
Christ will often open the door to
Talk with them about Him. You
can then Teach them or invite
them to Church where they can be
taught. We encourage each Chris-
tian to take advantage of such
opportunities. If you know of a
prospect, and for some reason
cannot conduct a personal Bible
study, please give their contact
information to Bro. and/or Sis.
Oliver or to one of our Leaders.
Welcome to the Family!!
