Subject: Our responsibility to do our best for th |
Bible Note: We live in a world where the most emphasis is placed on gathering material possesions; even christians are not exempt from the certain appeal that an affluent life can offer. However, this lifestyle of obtaining financial wealth, can be a major deterrant to the path towards spiritual growth. Nowadays, we see many churches where people are so concerned with the monday-thru-friday work itineraries, that when it comes to being a part of any ministry whithin the church, the christians put their effort and energy to rest, and place the whole responsibility on the pastor and staff's shoulders. Paul's command to his universal church is to "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15-NIV). The Spanish version, Reina-Valera (1559) uses the form "Procure with diligence to present yourself to God..." One of the meanings of the word "diligence" is "promptness". It is the christian's duty to be involved in the diverse ministries, as a vital member of the body of Christ with promptness. In this passage of Hebrews 6:11, the author is pleading with each of us to give our very best to work diligently for the cause of Christ (Romans 12:1), and to stay away from the stronholds of the world (Romans 12:2). Only this way, we will be able to enjoy to the fullest His promises of a future life in His very presence. |
