The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before God.
Paul wrote that in Romans 14-22.
And basically what he was saying was if you believe something, let it affect you.
Let it change you.
Let it make you into something.
That's what a conviction is.
People say, I believe, but they don't do anything about it.
That's an error.
That's a mistake.
If you truly believe something, you will act according to what you believe.
And that's what he's saying.
Have it as your conviction between you and God.
Then, in the second half of the verse, he says, happy is he who does not condemn himself
for what he approved.
So you decide what you approve of and what you don't approve of and let your convictions
drive what you approve of and what you don't approve.
You don't think something is right, then you don't have to approve of it.
Of course, it's your conviction.
So it affects you.
You can't make anyone else do anything else that you want them to do, but you can believe
and you can let your own belief drive your own actions before God.
And you will be happy if you approve the right things.
So learn the word of God.
Listen to preaching and teaching this godly.
Maybe our podcast, for example, but listen to something that will help you grow in the
Lord and then let it affect you as a conviction, a deep-seated belief that changes everything
who you are.
You can do it.
You're able.
God says so.
