STANDING AND CONTENDING FOR CHRIST IS A COMMAND OF GOD!
SCRIPTURES- 1 THESSALONIANS 5:10 – WHO DIED FOR US, THAT, WHETHER WE WAKE OR SLEEP, WE SHOULD LIVE TOGETHER WITH HIM.!
COMFORT IS A RESPONSIBLITY AND TO LIVE FOR GOD YOU HAVE TO EXTEND YOURSELF AND REACH OUT TO OTHERS TO SHOW COMFORT AND LOVE.
EDIFY – TO BUILD UP AND HELP SOMEONE ELSES LIFE IN CHRIST. WHAT? CAN YOU PROVIDE AND OFFER FOR OTHERS IN THE LORD.
SCRIPTURES COLOSSIANS 25-28)) . *ALSO ALWAYS PROVOKING OTHERS TO LOVE AND GOOD WORKS BY SHOWING YOUR CARE AND CONCERN FOR OTHERS PPLS LIVES AND NOT JUST OUR OWN. (NOT BEING SELFISH)
WHEN WE EDIFY ONE ANOTHER WE CANT HAVE A WEAK HOUSE. WE AS CHRISTIANS HAVE A CHOICE TO BE RIGHT AND THATS WHAT GOD ASKS OF US TO BE IS TO BE RIGHT, AND DOING WHAT PLEASES GOD THE MOST WITHOUT LETTING OUR EMOTION/FEELING GET IN THE WAY.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE A STAND FOR CHRIST BY BEING SALT AND LIGHT SPREADING THE GOSPEL IS IMPORTANT, AND TO DO GODS WILL! AS WELL AS PRAYING FOR OTHERS SOULS TO BE RIGHT IN CHRIST!
SCRIPTURE 2 CORINTHIANS 13:5-7 EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH; PROVE YOUR OWN SELVES. KNOW YE NOT YOUR OWN SELVES, HOW THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES? BUT I TRUST THAT YE SHALL KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT REPROBATES. NOW I PRAY TO GOD THAT YE DO NO EVIL; NOT THAT WE SHOULD APPEAR APPROVED, BUT THAT YE SHOULD DO THAT WHICH IS HONEST, THOUGH WE BE AS REPROBATES.
SCRIPTURE 2 CORINTHIANS 13:11- FINALLY, BRETHREN, FAREWELL. BE PERFECT, BE OF GOOD COMFORT, BE OF ONE MIND, LIVE IN PEACE; AND THE GOD OF LOVE AND PEACE SHALL BE WITH YOU.
SCRIPTURE JAMES 4:13- GO TO NOW, YE THAT SAY, TO DAY OR TOMORROW WE WILL GO INTO SUCH A CITY, AND CONTINUE THERE A YEAR, AND BUY AND SELL, AND GET GAIN:
KEEP CONTENDING FOR THE FAITH AND NOT FALLING/SLIDING FROM GOD BUT GROWING CLOSER TO GOD BY DOING GOOD WORKS AND MAKING YOURSELF AVAILABLE.
DONT BE IGNORANT OF GOD ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO ASK AND NOT BE PRIDEFUL IN ARGING OVER SOMETHING YOU REALLY DONT KNOW ABOUT. KEEP YOUR EYES AND YOUR HEART OPEN TO GOD.
TAKAWAYS FROM THE LESSON – SEEING THE GOODNESS OF GOD AND NOT BEING BLIND TO GODS WORD AND BEING A WITNESS TO SOMEONE BY SPREADING AND PROMOTING CHRIST TO OTHERS BY BEING A LIVING SACRIFICE.
