LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE- (WED JAN 30, 2013)
SCRIPTURE: 2 PETER 1:5-11
- 5 ¶ so don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding,
- 6 alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder,
- 7 warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others.
- 8 With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet; no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus.
- 9 Without these qualities you can’t see what’s right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.
- 10 So, friends, confirm God’s invitation to you, his choice of you. Don’t put it off; do it now. Do this and you’ll have your life on a firm footing,
- 11 the streets paved and the way wide open into the eternal kingdom of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ.
DEVOTIONAL: “BUILDING YOUR LIFE”
There is not a minute to waste. Let the construction of our life begin. We have the Master Architect in Jesus Christ. Our job is to build on the foundation of faith in Jesus and to allow the Holy Spirit to give us spiritual understanding. The following are the levels of the building that God wants to build in our life.
1.Alert Discipline
2.Passionate Patience.
3.Warm Friendliness
4.Generous Love.
5.Each quality active and growing in your life.
We are instructed to accept God’s invitation and we experience a firm footing and streets paved and the way open into the eternal kingdom of our Lord.
PRAYER THOUGHT: Dear Jesus please help us to cooperate in building these attributes and reflecting your love to the lost. Amen
