No Substitute for Consistency

Consistency is key.  Doing something with consistency is the surefire way to master it.  Spiritually speaking, this means that bad habits become ingrained while good habits become mastered.

This means that habitual sins that are not dealt with become more and more stubborn.  The only way to overcome consistent unrepentant sin that stems from habits is to change our habits.  When we replace bad habits with healthy ones, we set ourselves on paths to godliness.

An equal measure of consistency is needed to replace habitual sin with godly habits.  Consistency is an attitude as much as a practice in scheduling.  It is not enough to merely plan to be consistent,  effective consistency demands that consistency is purposed for growth and improvement.

In the end, becoming a consistent Christian requires an eye on sanctification and a desire to grow in godliness.  Because of all this, there is no substitute for intentional consistency in the life of the Christian.  Let us, then, make it our goal to be consistent Christians!
