FAITH CAPSULE: Doing what is good wrongly in the name of God is an error.

2 Samuel 6

Pleasing self in serving God is nothing but an error. A believer that is serving God should not please self but should please God. Are you one that pleases self in serving God? Lying and deception are rooted in pride. Pride before God can be a way of pleasing self but not God.
Seriously, consider your way of serving God and not be a victim of error in serving God. For example, self-impressive testimonies in the name of God will be an error which will be counted as sin before God. Romans 3:7-8 stated, “For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner? And why not say, “Let us do evil that good may come”? —as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.’” There is no compromising in serving God but to be truly committed in serving right. A true believer should avoid doing right in a wrong way. God must be served right in a right way to get a right manifestation from God. Avoid error serving God.
Error is a deviation from accuracy as in mistake, as in action or speech. Error is the condition of believing what is not true. Error is a moral offense; wrongdoing; sin. It is an error to violate the word of God and it can be a conscious or unconscious error before God. Error is despising the word of God. The bible makes us to realize it that, “He who despises the word will be destroyed…” (Proverbs 13:13)
Have you in any way violated or currently violating the word of God? Before God, there is no excuse for error.
Before God, Adam and Eve committed error by believing the serpent enough to eat against God’s command in the Garden of Eden. They both violated the word of God by their error (a wrongdoing).
When God showed up, Adam and Eve attempted to justify their action before God stating, “Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:12-13) Their excuses were not enough as they were judged by God. Sinful error committed by Adam and Eve eposes man to numerous pains today.
Doing what is right in a wrong way before God is a sin before God to separate man from God.
Despising the word of God will separate man from God into self-destruction.

Prayer point: Ask God for the grace of God to keep you away from conscious or unconscious error before God.
