Living Worthy of the Gospel of Christ
Living worthy of the gospel is what God expects of every Christian. Many people have set examples of what this should look like. The Apostle Paul is one of them.

Just as God held these people accountable, He will hold us accountable. While we may not be guilty of the same sins – we are all sinners. However, God, in love sent his Son (the Lord Jesus Christ) to die for our sins and He willingly experienced the judgement we rightly deserve.
Habakkuk’s testimony inspires us to remain faithful to God, knowing that He is faithful. It serves as a reminder that no matter how deep our despair may be, God will never abandon us and has a plan that will preserve and prosper us. It also reassures us that He will always help us, His timing is perfect, and He will use difficult situations to bring us closer to Him by revealing more of Himself and His ways to us.
Habakkuk’s testimony reminds us that we should always speak to God when we are in despair. Let us never lose faith in our faithful God no matter how hard things might be. Instead, we should reinforce our faith by telling him our complaints and concerns.
In contrast to the Lord Jesus Christ, we, are sinners and as a result, are destined to spend eternity experiencing the wrath of God. If we believe that he died for our sins our destiny changes – we receive eternal life.
Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ have the wonderful blessing of experiencing and benefiting from the presence of God regardless of the circumstances they are in.
This occasion shows us that when we are feeling afflicted, targeted and fearful, the best course of action is to seek the Lord! We enter into a realm where He has complete authority. It also shows us that our Lord will come to us, no matter how much doubt we may have.

In times of stress and hardship, we may not feel his presence – but he is there and at precisely the right moment he will reassure and comfort us by showing us that he has been there the whole time.
Perhaps the greatest blessing we have when see the Lord as Isaiah did is that we will be in awe of Him while simultaneously being reminded of our unworthiness, leading us to consider his indescribable love, grace and mercy.
