Living Today
I Peter 2:21, I John 2:6, II Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 5:1-2, 4:22, Romans 12:1-2
Believers are to be representatives and ambassadors of Christ in this lost and lonely world. It is the joy of the followers of the Lord to live in such a way each day that others are drawn to Him. In order to attract others to the work of Christ in one’s life they need to:
Forgive and not be bitter
Have happiness in the Lord
Speak words of kindness
Be gentle
Reach out and help others in need
Be willing to serve and be fruitful wherever God places them
Be thankful and rejoice in the Lord
It is as one is like Jesus and “abides in His Word” that they become a useable instrument in God’s hand to impact others. In a fearful day, it is a great blessing to show others trust, confidence, peace, and forgiveness in the Lord.
Prayer: Lord, guide me this day that I would be a living sacrifice and direct others to Your freedom and peace.
