Commitment and Service

What do you want your day to be like?

“And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God; who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” (2 Corinthians 3:4-6)

That is right! We are competent in God because Christ

“… died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto him who for their sakes died and rose again.” (2 Corinthians 5:15)

And if it is true that:

“… ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.” (Colossians 3:1-2)

Only then will we be able to:

“Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell.” (Ephesians 5:1-2)

And surely, keeping in mind that:

“… whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ.” (Colossians 3:23-24)

Or do we want a day guided by our own will?

May God continue to bless you
and may you continue to have an excellent day in Christ Jesus!
