Make Every Effort

“Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive.” 

TITUS 3:14

Faith is worked out in action. It is always telling the truth - always loving - always living with honor - keeping your word - helping the poor - loving your neighbor - rebuking evil desires - rebuking yourself. There is no life except that given through Jesus Christ. Therefore, for Jesus to live in you, it is only his will that you should do. 

Jesus is the way - his ways - his wisdom is known from beginning to end. Each of our hairs are numbered, just like our days. Only God knows his perfect plan for us. Take the action and live according to the will of God. Seek Jesus. 

God will do his part and cleanse you of sin and direct your path. You must add to your faith - goodness - by meeting the Lord in action. He will not do things for you, but rather give you a new heart and mind and provide you with the Holy Spirit. It is the spirit that teaches. You must get in the habit of seeking the Lord in all things, such that you will be the hands and feet for the Holy Spirit to do what is asked by God.

“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” Galatians 5:22-23
