Doing For Others

When we stand before God on the Judgment Day-can we say we have done all we ought?

Paul tells us in Ephesians 2:10 “for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good

works.” We have a job to do. Let us grow our knowledge in Jesus so we can accomplish our

job.

The title of this blog is doing for others: what I mean is we should tell others of His glory. As believers of the only true and living God, that is our duty and the more we know the more we must tell.

John calls God ‘the light’ and that there is no darkness in Him. Are you tired of walking in darkness?

So we know He is light. What else should we know?

“Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding” (Proverbs 10:13), but also “wise people store up knowledge” (Proverbs 10:14). It doesn’t take degrees to confer wisdom, generally the opposite is true. The only true source of wisdom is found in Heaven.

However, as we grow in Christ, we must do more for God. Again, using Paul’s words, this time in 1^stCorinthians “I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual peoplebut as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it.” When we are new to Christ, we are like babies, as we grow in our knowledge and relationship with Christ, we know more and are expected to do more. I don’t mean God needs our help: far from it. He does however want us to help. He wants us to witness, to do outreach, to minister, each thing we do should be a building on the last we have done.

So what can you do? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What are your limitations? Pray for guidance as to where He will have you go. When you are assured of how you can serve, put on the armor of God, and go to work.
