God Does Not Compromise

We try to be everything to all people. We often change who we are and how we act around different people. Especially if we are trying to impress someone or a group of people, we will find ourselves doing things that we would not normally do. However, compromises can very quickly lead us to places that we should never go. Compromise all too often, leads to sin. But while we deal with the struggles of compromise, we can be sure that Christ does not.

Christ does not compromise His character. He never has, and He never will. God will always be faithful to who He is. Numbers 23:19 states, "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" Because Christ will not compromise, every man and women is forced to come to a decision: to either reject Him or accept Him. As Alexander MacLaren says, "All the manifestations and operations of that divine Character have a twofold aspect. Christ is either a stone of stumbling or a sure foundation. Men are either the better or the worse for Him."

So what do we do when we are confronted with Jesus? As Christians, we have already accepted Jesus, the immovable object, for who He is. Now, the next step for us is to become immovable objects of grace ourselves.
