What Are You
Giving Your Life To?
As we finish the first week in 2025, have you decided what you’ll be giving your life to this year?
It's not so much the do but the how we're giving our life to something that kingdom heirs need to remember.
We can think about:
The way we speak:
Proverbs 18:21 (NKJV)
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
The way we treat others:
John 15:13 (NIV)
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Matthew 5:43-44 (NIV)
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
The way we think and behave:
Romans 12:2 (NLT)
Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
The way we give ourselves to God:
Mark 12:13 (EASY)
Love the Lord your God completely. Love him with all your mind and with all your strength. Love him in everything that you think and you do.”
The amount in our hands is not as important as what's in our hearts. In case we missed it, this next verse makes it clear.
Colossians 3:23-24 (CSB)
Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people, knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.
