Review from 1 Peter 4:12-19
Make sure to understand that it takes a real commitment to walk with Christ.
Romans 2:2-11
Just calling yourself a Christian will not qualify your life in God.
Christians will have to go through the tough times righteously – not just the good times
Acts 14:22
Being a Christian as it relates to school and being a student.
When final exam time is over in Christ, what will your grade be?
People who give their best and desire to excel do the best.
Attendance is very important in Christ. If you aren’t there, you won’t get it.
Another grading requirement is participation. Are you working well with other believers?
Some tests require application – not just knowledge. Will you pass?
Look at youself in Christ and make sure you are totally for real.
Sometimes, getting a job requires recommendations from others.
Would you be highly recommended from others?
1 Thessalonians 2:1-20
Appreciate when others try to give to you in Christ.
Take advantage of the resources God gives for you to be successful.
Matthew 25:30-51
Look to do your best in Christ and excel.
You might be behind 30 years, but God’s grace can catch you up today.
