Catechism: Social Media & My Messageનમૂનો

Throughout this series, we’ve been examining our identity as followers of Jesus. This new identity comes with a purpose: We are now ambassadors of Jesus’ message and God’s kingdom. 

An ambassador’s job is to speak for another person. For followers of Jesus that means we speak for Christ. No pressure, right? 

The good news is that God equips us for this huge responsibility. One of the tools God has given us is his Word, the Bible. God reveals his values, his heart, and his will in its pages, and by studying who God is, we can reflect the values of God’s kingdom to the world.

When we consume God’s word, our words start to become more and more like his! 

Read Psalm 19:7-14

Reflection Questions:

1. How does the psalmist feel about God’s commandments? Compare this to the way you feel about God’s word. Have you experienced those emotions while reading the Bible? Ask God to give you a desire and love for his word.  
2. What are some of the purposes God’s word can serve in our lives? How have you seen Scripture encourage, warn, or convict you in your own life?
3. Think about the words you’ve spoken recently and the meditations of your heart. Are they pleasing to God? If God is showing you a particular area of sin, thank him for revealing it to you and confess it to him! Like the psalmist, pray that your words and thoughts would please God as you reflect him to the world.
