Review from Romans 6 and Galatians 5
The whole law can be summed-up on loving and serving one another.
“Am I Christian?”
John 13:34-35
…love one another…
1 Peter 1:22-25
…unfeigned love of the brethren…
Not a fake love, but a committed love for others in Christ – because of Christ.
Fervent love means to stretch outside yourself and give real effort to care for others.
Philippians 2:1-24
In order to serve Christ, we can’t focus on ourselves.
We can’t wake up thinking, “How can I worship myself.”
Commit each day to look after the things of someone else.
If you only work hard for your job, and take a break when you get a vacation…when does God get His effort from you?
Are you productive for the Lord with all your energy and strength?
Look around the room and ask what you do for the people in your Church group.
Other Christians should be able to recommend you as a good friend and fellow laborer in the Lord.
Psalms 19:1-14
God’s law is perfect, and there is a reward for those who follow them.
Pray for God to clean you from sin so that you can follow Him.
