Thoughts

I was reading today in first Timothy Chapter 6. There were two verses that really stood out to me. –verses 7 and 12.

Verse7 is, “For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.”

Verse 12 says, “Fight the good fight of faith., take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”

This tells me that the material things of the world are irrelevant when considered in the perspective of eternity. We brought nothing with us when we were born into this world. And we will take nothing material out of it. 

The well-being of our soul, in light of the reality of eternity, should be what we truly focus upon.

 Our life is caught-up in a spiritual battle and we are told to “fight the good fight” and “take hold of the eternal life to which we are called.”

If we have Christ as Lord of our life, we’re to proclaim our faith to others.  Why? So they may discover, too, what we have found through a relationship with God in the person of Jesus.

I confess — without apology — that I am a follower of Jesus Christ. You are now a witness to my confession.

It is my hope that there will be a great many who are drawn to faith in Christ, which is through the work of the Holy Spirit.

I just hope to be usable — to point people to this profound truth about what God offers through Christ.  This is the reality that changes everything in life forever.

That’s my trumpet blast for today.
