Live in Order to Please God

[1] “As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:1 NIV

How do you live? You may probably say that you do so by working to get something to eat. But life is beyond what you can eat, drink and wear. If life consists of what I mentioned, then why would Jesus come from heaven to come and die for us? Think about that!

There is a purpose God created you to live for. And one of them is to live to express Jesus in every area of your life. You may not know how important this is, but I tell you, it is very essential. If every area of your life reflects Christ, think about how your life will be to the world. Devoid of any evil. Right?

But you know we live in a wicked world where wickedness is the norm. And to be great ambassadors of Christ, it is essential to live in order to please God, your Maker. Why do you do what you have to do? What is the urge behind anything you engage in? Is it self, evil or God? Choose God, dear one. He will never fail you!

You are a blessing.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for everything You have done for me. Help me to live in order to please You in every area of my life. Amen!
