A life of goodness.
If you serve Christ with this attitude, you
will please God, and others will approve of you, too. So then, let us aim for
harmony in the church and try to build each other up. Romans 14:18-19
Serve God—serve Christ—with an attitude of
goodness, peace and joy. The Holy Spirit gifts us with that as we love and
serve the Lord. It doesn’t matter what we eat—as long as we are living in
service to the Lord. Paul went on to say that we need to aim…to try…to live in
harmony. Try. Trying can be frustrating, unless we turn it over to the Lord.
But…we can do all things in Christ who gives us strength. Remember…For I can do everything through Christ, who
gives me strength. Philippians 4:13. Life and goodness are gifts of the
Spirit—not something we get from our own work. We really can get nothing or
nowhere on our own. Life—eternal life is from God.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free
gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
So live life as a gift and promise from
God. In His goodness. Enjoy your eternal life…start today.
Prayer
~ Lord, I rejoice in Your love and goodness. A life of goodness—striving for
harmony with other Christians and having an attitude of peace and joy with
which You bless me.
