That I May Know Him

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. ~ 1 John 5:20 (KJV)

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29

There's Work to be Done!

God did not save us just to warm up a pew bench on Sundays. Oh no, He saved us to have intimacy with Him and to work with Him in the beauty of His holiness. When He said, "Be ye holy" it was not a request, but a commandment. And God doesn't command us to do anything that He won't empower us to do.

He gave us Life that we may LIVE for Him. There’s work to be done.

The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Luke 10:2

Let us labour for our Master and, in due season, we will reap our harvest!

    Great thoughts as always.

    "God doesn't command us to do anything that He won't empower us to do"

    This is hard to get across to some.

    Thanks Sister! ;-)

    There is a great hymn entitled 'There's a work for Jesus ready at your hand'. I have only sung it once and so I am not sure on the tune.

    KC, thanks! We should never forget that we can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us!

    Matthew, I've never even heard of that hymn. I just might google it later, when I have some time.

    Amen, Jesus says..."Occupy till I come".

    You reminded me of something I heard:

    There's two kinds of Christians--the waterbottle and the waterfall Christians. The waterbottle Christians go to church and fill up their waterbottle with water. Then they close the cap and go home, and take a drink out of it every once in a while. The waterfall Christians, on the other hand, function differently. They fill up their reservoir, and then, unlike the waterbottle Christians, they overflow!

    Sarah, These are wonderful thoughts. We have so much to do for Christ and I am convinced what we do we better do quickly. I think the Lord's return is not far away. Great post.
