What Really Counts by yommyuk: 8:01am On Jun 07, 2015
Perhaps you sometimes have that thought—and you would be correct if your action is your idea, done your way. We have nothing to offer others when we rely on our own abilities and efforts. But as born-again believers seeking to live obediently, we are wrong when we fall into that kind of thinking. Scripture makes it clear what matters to God. Let us seek to think the way God does about what counts.

NEW CREATION
The Bible tells us that what counts is being a new creation (Galatians 6:15). We who have received Christ as our Lord and Saviour are exactly that. Are you a new creation? If so, know that you are of great value to God.

HOLY SPIRIT
It is the Holy Spirit indwelling us who makes what we do significant (John 6:63). Do you recognize His presence within you? He equips you to make your life count.

FAITH
A key ingredient in living a life that makes an impact is faith (Hebrews 11:6). This is not something we produce on our own—it is developed in us. Are you nourishing your soul through God’s Word in order to grow strong in faith?

LOVE
Without love, faith rings hollow and discordant (1 Corinthians 13:1). Is godly love seasoning your words as well as your actions?

OBEDIENCE
Following the Lord’s commands is what truly counts (John 15:10). Have you yielded your ways in order to obey His Word?

When we live God’s way, what we do counts in the eyes of the only One who matters—God Himself.

Romans 8:1
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.”

1 Corinthians 1:30
“God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.”

2 Corinthians 2:14
“But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.”


IT IS WELL. GOD BLESS wink
