Christians are as prisoners
Oct 24
"I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called" (Ephesians 4:1).
Who are true worshippers
Oct 17
"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him" (John 4:23).
With all lowliness and meekness
Oct 10
"With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love" (Ephesians 4:2). First of all, God "hath chosen us in |Christ| before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love" (Ephesians 1:4). Our very election and position in Christ with its imputed holiness is centered in His love. This, in turn, means that our spiritual lives are "rooted and grounded in love" (Ephesians 3:17), because they are rooted and grounded in Him who is incarnate love.
The gift of labor
Oct 03
We don't know yet what our assignments will be there, but they will somehow be commensurate with our faithfulness in serving the Lord here. "My reward is with me," says the Lord Jesus, "to give every man according as his work shall be" (Revelation 22:12).
