THESSALONIANS 1:1-5
Did you know that_
THE
MOMENT THAT WE PLACE OUR TRUST in Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, we become new creations. This is
an act of love by the heavenly Father – He gives us new life and adopts us into
His family. He also has a custom-designed plan for every believer, with
specific work for each one to accomplish.
Once we are
saved, the rest of our days are to be spent fulfilling God’s purposes for our
life. We are called to be Jesus’ disciples – acting on His behalf and working
zealously for God, as the Savior did. The world is hungry for the good news,
which we are to deliver.
Redemption
is God’s gift, offered to us free of charge (Eph. 2:8-9). Salvation is by
grace, not by grace-plus-works. Once we are saved, however, works are God’s
will for us-the Holy Spirit carries out Jesus’ agenda on earth through His
followers.
God has
committed Himself to guide and equip believers to act as His servants. No
matter what He calls us to do, He will provide the necessary abilities and
resources. His Holy Spirit will teach us whatever we need to know-such as
effective ways to relate, to pour ourselves out on behalf of others, and to
share our faith. He expects us to make serving Him a priority, and to surrender
our time, talent, and treasure for His use. Age does not disqualify us from His
ervice, and there is never a time for retirement.
While we are
living on earth, our lifestyle is to be one of enthusiastic, committed service
in the cause of Christ. Let your work for God be a genuine labor of love.
In Christ,
Janet
