Daily Devo | You Can Trust Me, Friend! (Romans 16:17-23)

Many people ask for our trust, but many are not trustworthy. Paul gives three signs of people we should not trust. First, they undermine what we know. Second, they are in it for personal gain. Third, their lives are not consistent with their words. Avoid such people, warns Paul, especially because they tear communities apart. By such marks, are we trustworthy? Do our lives pass the test?

For Reflection:

Paul mentioned 3 traits of the people we should not trust. They 1) undermine what we know, 2) prioritize personal gain, and 3) their actions don't match their words.

- Who are some people who have proven trustworthy in your life? What characteristics do they seem to share?

- In contrast, what are some of the characteristics of people who have proven untrustworthy? How do they match up to Paul's warning?

- Is there a way that God might want you to grow in these areas?
