Bible Question: How does one live for the Lord |
Bible Answer: Hi, Roger... First, by being saved... And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. (Hebrews 11:6) [Note: without salvation it is impossible to do any of the following; these things are only characteristics of the saved.] Second, by loving and obeying Christ... "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." (John 14:21) Third, by loving like God... Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. (Ephesians 5:1-2) Fifth, by living in a manner worthy of God... For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. (1 Thes 2:12-13) Sixth, by living in the light of divine providence... Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit" -- yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that." (James 4:15) Lastly, glorifying God by bearing much fruit... "By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples." (John 15:8) This is not to be construed as an exhaustive list. In Him, Doc |
