Friday 9th October 2020 Devotion
Scripture:- Acts 1-11
Topic:- Is Jesus Coming Back [5]
Text:- Acts 1:11
- Obeying Jesus:
Jesus’ return will be followed by a judgment at which time everyone’s thoughts and deeds will be open before Him.
Although forgiveness of sin is based on our faith in Jesus alone, we should want to please Him with our lives, and reach others with His message of forgiveness.
According to Jesus, those who live for Him in obedience will receive rewards. He says, “My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.”
He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!”
The Apostle John then responds enthusiastically, “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!”
As Jesus’ return approaches, we need to examine our lives to make sure we are preparing to meet Him. - The Words Of The Apostle Paul:
Remind us of what our aim should be.
It is our aim, therefore, to please Him, whether we are “at home” or “away”.
For every one of us will have to stand without pretense before Christ our judge, and we shall be rewarded for what we did when we lived in our bodies, whether it was good or bad. - The Very Spring Of Our Actions:
Is the love of Christ. We look at it like this: if one died for all men then, in a sense, they all died, and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them.” See 2 Corinthians 5:9-10; 14-15. - Obedience to Christ:
Should be in response to His great love for us.
Prayer Point:- Oh Lord God, never let me miss Your 2nd coming, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Happy Weekend!
