Live To The Lord

Rom. 14:7-13

Many people see themselves as free moral agents whose freedom should not be tampered with. But a Christian has of his own free will surrendered this freedom to God; realising that Christ died for him, and in return he has chosen to live for Christ. He should, therefore, strive to please Christ in all he does while living. The Christian no longer belongs to himself, but to Christ. His focus is not on what other people do or fail to do, but fully on what Christ demands from him. He has no business condemning others. This is not a license for one to sin, since each Christian should be conscious of the fact that he will one day give account of his actions before Christ.

Point of Emphasis:   Both in living and in dying, we should strive to please Christ who died to redeem us.

Prayer Point:            I receive divine grace to live to please God every day of my life.
