Are you a person without folds? Or are there some folds in your life that need to be ironed out. While this is a great goal to reach for we must allow God and His Word to dwell in our hearts to make it a reality.
Spiros Zodhiates writes... There is a significant word in the Greek New Testament which is used to describe a person who truly exhibits sincerity in their Christian life. The word is haplotes, which literally means without folds. This is best illustrated by examining a simple sheet of paper. As you fold down the edges or if you were to crumple the page, you will notice that in trying to straighten it out, there is still evidence which is permanently ingrained into the texture of the paper.
A person that is truly sincere will have evidences of "no folds." In the New Testament, this type of person is described as faithful, pure and benevolent (Eph. 6:5; Col 3:22). Also, it is used to describe a generous giver who has no ulterior motives (2 Cor. 9:13). Are you a person "without folds" in your character? In the workplace, are you the type of worker who respects authority for the right reasons? When God looks at you does He see your sincerity?
