CHARACTERISTICS OF A HOLY LIFE FOR THE CHURCH LIFE (1 Thes
1:4-10)
The thing that touched me the most in this message was the word LIVING.
First of all, we need to have a proper LIVING in order to preach the gospel
in power, in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance. We need to live the gospel
and have a manner of life that matches it. “We must first live Christ and have
a manner of life to match the power, the Holy Spirit, and the assurance.”
Second, we have a LIVING God. “God must be living to us and in us in our
daily life. He should be living in our speech, in our behavior, and in every
aspect of our daily life. He is living in us, and He controls us, directs us,
and deals with us… in many matters He corrects us and adjusts us. We must live
a life which bears the testimony that the God we worship and serve is living in
the details of our daily life.”
One other thing I really enjoyed was our SELECTION
which was done by God before the foundation of the world. Praise the Lord!
