Comparing Ourselves to CHRIST vs Others | How Social Media Impacts Christians | @christianconvos

Is social media influencing your Christian walk? What role does social media play when it comes to comparing ourselves with others? Stop comparing yourself to others on social media.

Is it Biblical to compare yourself with other believers? What about other people in general? Comparing yourself to others is not only useless, but it can prevent God from using you to accomplish great things and overcome challenges. It robs us of much spiritual fruits, such as joy, peace, and love. All Christians must stop this because when they want to be more like others, that oftentimes comes at the expense of wanting to be more like Jesus Christ, which we are called to conform to the image of Jesus Christ. ("For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." - Romans 8:29). This is not a new issue among men. We can see it as far back as Genesis with the account of Cain & Abel. People constantly compare themselves, their accomplishments, their looks, their titles, their missions, and so much more with others to see how they measure up; however, comparing yourself to others can stop your spiritual and personal growth. This can cause depression and anxiety. Social media only adds to this prompting to compare ourselves to others. There are many traps that Christians fall into when it comes to social media. How should a Christian use social media to the glory of God? Many don't want to recognize how social media and technology are affecting the Church.

📖 SCRIPTURE REFERENCED IN THE VIDEO:

(1 Corinthians 12:12-31, King James Version)
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

(Galatians 6:4-5, KJVB)
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For every man shall bear his own burden.
