Four GREAT things in the believer’s life.

 


If you search for the GREAT things of God, look no further than these four priorities in the Bible!

 

The GREAT commission:
Math. 28: 19 & 20: GO and make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

 

The GREAT commandment:
Math 22: 37 & 38: LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and the greatest commandment. And he second is like it: LOVE your neighbour as yourself. All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.

 

The GREAT promise:
Acts. 1: 8: You will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.

 

The GREAT invitation:
John 7: 37: If anyone is THIRSTY, let him come to me and drink – streams of living water will flow from within him.

 

Thirsty Christians without purpose for their lives and service to God do not accomplish much in God’s Kingdom. What is the point of calling yourself a Christian and you remain spiritually deprived?

 

God provided the food and drink – through Jesus Christ!
God provided the great adventure to bring his Kingdom and his salvation to the lost!
And while we journey powerfully in the Holy Spirit towards our purpose and fulfillment in Christ, we use the compass that will guide us step by step - the commandment of love!

 

There is no need to remain in slavery, sin, disobedience, and spiritual weakness and not bearing fruit for the Lord. There is deliverance, redemption, and fulfillment in following and serving Christ Jesus through the power of his Holy Spirit.

 

Lent, now soon to come, is a season of prayer and reflection on the GREAT sacrifice of our Lord. May it be a season filled with heavenly blessings and inspiration for every day of our lives.
The Kingdom of God is nearby! The time has come!
Enter with gladness and thanksgiving!
