What Would You Do?

For many years, a merchant conscientiously used a measure that did not meet the government standard. He was honest and had no intention of defrauding those who purchased from him. He took the word of the man who sold him the measure and never thought of having it tested. When the merchant passed on, his son’s attention was called to the fact that his father had unknowingly failed to give full measure to his customers. Could the son be honest and continue to use the measure?

Are your religious practices in harmony with the Bible, which is our standard? When you study the Bible and find that some practices of your loved ones did not come up to the standard, would you be honest if you continue as they did? The Word of God declares, “To him therefore that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin (James 4:17).
