Serving

You may be the only Bible somebody reads. Do you portray the truth as accurately as humanly possible? Or do you hide your “play world” magazine inside your bible. In other words do you have the religion of Christianity without having the salvation from Christ?

If you do have the salvation only secured by the Messiah, then you are then called to follow the Master the Lord of all. [I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.] -John 13:15- If you are not saved, you first must understandable that God’s sacrifice was incomprehensible and at bare minimal deservers our all, in order to serve Him well. So I urge the nonbelievers and weak believers to first strengthen their relationship with Him before taking this next step of servitude to the creator of all. While keeping in mind that there is no such thing as a stagnate Christian we are either moving towards or away from Christ.

Jesus did not just tell us how to live He showed us, just as we are not called to know how to live but to live as we know we how to. [You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave…] -Philippians 2:5-7a-. This is a hard truth to swallow; we like to think that we are good enough, that we deserve to live a life that is better than that of a slave. Which is true but not because of our works, Jesus was perfect and even He washed the feet of those around Him. We are not worthy to even be His slave but, because of His grace we may serve Him as is the example He left us. [You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.]- John 15:14-15-.

For Jesus our Creator, Savior, and debt payer to call us friend means more than I even know, more than I can begin to describe. He is all these things for us and only asks that we follow what He was willing to do Himself. His command is love, so love we will. We who follow Christ will love all His children not just the ones who might benefit us, and we who felt His grace shall serve and worship Him and Him alone, not false idols such as money, fame, or flesh. I pray the receivers of grace and the followers of the Great one may submit there lives to Him so they may receive their blessings.
