Living For Christ by Nobody: 3:32pm On Aug 30, 2020
LIVE FOR CHRIST
Life is a gift from God to man. Our being alive is not for the sake of just living to our own whims and wishes, but to live for God's purpose concerning us. We understand from scriptures that our perfect and singular purpose on earth is to serve and Obey God (Eccl. 12:13). As believers, there's no other way to live, if not to live a life dedicated to the service of our Creator. Any other way or life that we live, not consistent with His purpose for us, is just vanity. We are all here for reason, to fulfill a definite purpose, a destiny designed specifically for you. To fulfill that, one must be with in line and walk in tandem with the giver of that destiny. Outside of Christ, we will surely miss the mark of our calling.(John 15:5). It doesn't matter the things you are able to achieve or acquire in this life. There is no true and complete fulfilment and contentment in life when you live it outside of your divinely ordained purpose.
Living for Christ simply means living by His Word and standard, and not the standard of the world, or our own. Hearing, and doing are not the same. Some may hear, but fail to do. (James 1:22-25). Living for Christ is simply obeying and doing His Word. Allowing God's Word to dwell in you, controlling and directing every thought, word and action of your life, is the key to fulfilment of destiny and purpose, and to joy, peace and contentment.
Apostle Paul declares that whether we live or die, we are God's. He asks that we live for Christ and not for ourselves (Romans 14:7-cool. Also in Galatians 2:20 the Bible points that whoever is crucified with Christ (Has received salvation in Christ), lives not on or by himself, but Christ lives in and through him. Your life does not belong to you as a child of God, you have been purchased.(1 Corinthians 6:19-20/ 7:23). And your purchase price is equal to the life of God; the precious blood of Jesus, the son of God, and God himself. (Hebrews 9:12/ 1 Peter 1:18-19). Decide to live a life worthy of the price that was paid for your redemption. As you do, God shall u doubtlessly reward you richly in blessings and favour, and you shall surely enjoy divine peace, joy and fulfilment. Remain ever blessed.
CHRIST IS KING
OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD.
