Our thoughts, words and actions of life are to be in sync toward this divine standard. Our whole lives are to be in tune, with gospel of Christ!

May we learn to be joyously ‘captivated’ by God’s glory as we discern and choose what is right and godly and walk in His righteous paths.

God is both patient and generous even with sinful people.

We are to be always, or whenever the occasion arises, to be prepared to give people right answers to their questions about your life’s purpose and belief, so to lead them to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Lord does not need celebrities He wants men and women, no matter what earthly status, to be faithful servants of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

But what about a prize, a reward, a goal, that has eternal value?

In other words the true gospel of Jesus Christ has been changed to mean something other than what it was intended by God to mean.

Oh that we might see our trials and afflictions as being “good” gifts from God so that we might lean more of God’s ways, His mind, His grace, His mercy, His compassion, His justice, His love, His sovereign rule and reign over our lives from His Word.

The core of the question is this - is Christian life an exercise in passive trust or active obedience?

In the midst of adversity, even when our lives and the lives of those we love are at threat, God knows our days, He continues to work out His purposeful plan - and that should be a great joy and comfort for us.
