FAITH, LOVE AND HOPE
1 THESS. 1:3
"As we talk to our God and Father about you, we think of your faithful work, your loving deeds, and your continual anticipation of the return of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Apostle Paul, Silas and Timothy made mention of the love for each other amongst the Ephesians believers, their faith in God and not in any other thing, and their hope in Christ's return.
This is referred to as the trial of faith, love, hope and it is the summary of the Christian life.
1.) Faith: Our faith as believers must be in God, what He can do for us as we trust in Him vividly. We should not have alternative for God in our lives, heart and conduct.
2.) Love: We are to also have unshaken love for Him. Our love for Him will propel us to love Him for who He is, not necessarily for what He can give to us, even though He will give us things as we trust Him. Your love for Him will make you go all the way to win souls to His kingdom, intercede for the Church and the body of Christ, even for the nations e.g Nigeria. The only debt you owe everyone is love, hence, love as you should. For love is God and you showing forth that attribute is a godly virtue.
3.) Hope: If all we do in the Church does not end us in heaven, then it was a waste of time and effort.
As Christians, you are not to live your life as though there's no eternal hope for you. Live everyday fulfilled in Christ, get involved in the Kingdom business, enlist more disciples for Him, do the work of your ministry. For everyone saved has a ministry to fulfil. You were called with a purpose in the heart of God of all grace for you. Do the work of a steward, for we will all give account of our stewardship here on earth. Faithfulness in the little things that God has committed into your hands will breed more responsibilities.
Christ is coming for His own, get busy for Him, there's no more time to waste.
Have unshaken faith in God, love for God and everyone and get busy for Him, live with eternity in view and hope for His return.
Enjoy your day!
Personal Confession: Oh Lord my Father, help me grow in love for you and others, have faith in you and get busy for you in Jesus' name.
