To make every effort to live in peace with everyone is not just a biblical commandment; it is a way of bringing people together. Peace is, therefore, not merely the absence of conflict but an active choice you must make daily. It requires conscious effort, grace, and a willingness to forgive others without recording wrongs.
Letting the message of Christ dwell in you richly is essential for a life deeply rooted in His teachings. By spending time studying the Bible, participating in group Bible studies, and praying the Word, you can allow Christ’s message to transform your life and help you live according to God’s will.
Many individuals live life feeling as though they are unnoticed, unimportant, or unappreciated, which is very disheartening. Dear friend, you are precious to God. That is why He has individual plans for you (see Jeremiah 29:11). Don’t belittle yourself!
True service to God involves a genuine connection from within, a sincerity that comes from the depths of one’s being. So, whether in public or private, you’re expected to uphold purity in all aspects of your life. To serve God effectively, you need a heart wholly devoted and surrendered to His will because He is holy. Only then can your actions turn from mere religious routines into meaningful service aligned with God’s plan.
Every action and effort in this life has eternal significance, so serve God with your eyes on your true reward, which is in heaven.
By choosing to love our enemies, we express Christ. It also allows us to break the cycle of hatred and create opportunities for reconciliation and healing. Loving our enemies doesn’t mean condoning their actions or overlooking injustice; instead, it’s about responding with love and compassion.
Every person has been given something by God and no matter how little, He expects you to exercise wisdom when using it.
Although the majority of Christians across the world do not suffer physical harm like the Christians of old, there are still sufferings associated with serving Christ. Is it God’s plan that we suffer and undergo such trials as Christians?
The work that God has sent us to do can only be done when it is day. If no one, including Jesus Himself, can work at night, then obviously we have to keep doing the work of God’s kingdom every day while we can.
Man cannot live depending on physical nourishment alone. Without praying, reading the word of God, and meeting with fellow Christians to discuss the word, a Christian cannot survive and will be physically grown but spiritually stunted. It is therefore necessary that like we eat food to physically grow, we gain spiritual nourishment through the consumption of God’s word every day.
