YOU ARE A PART OF GOD'S MINISTER
Today's chapter is Mark 24

Read the section verse refers to

1. Cor.4.1-4. So let everyone see us as God's ministers, we are God's ambassador on earth. But, we cannot be in ourselves. We can only say like Paul. In Verse 4. We know nothing in ourselves. We are dead in ourselves. We are fools without the wisdom of God without Jesus Christ. Therefore we do not come with judgment and beat people in the head with a lot of rules and laws. The Lord God is the judge of all and He is the judge of justice. Verse.5.

It is the Lord God who will judge what is in everyone's heart also in our hearts. Even what we do not know we contain, He will bring to light. There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God who is the light, illuminates our hearts so that we can see what is dark and light, what is our own corruption and the purity of Gu's life.

We who believe in Jesus do not fear God's judgment. We have passed from the life of sin and death, transferred to the life of righteousness in Jesus Christ. Adopted by God, seated with Christ in the heavenly realms. We who are God's children are not under the law and thus the demands of the law have ceased to claim us, and we shall not be judged to life or death, to Hell or Heaven. We have long since received our judgment and have surrendered our dead bodies/bodies to God. We are convinced. We belong to the Lord whether we live or die. Because. Jesus Christ is our guarantor of eternal life and He is our lawyer who pleads our case before God's court. He is the one who is our mediator between our unrighteousness and God. Therefore, we also have boldness to enter before the throne of God as we are and there we get all our power, help and grace in God's due time.

Many today. Do not want to believe in Jesus. Many say they believe. But they do not want to believe that Jesus means what He says. That none of His disciples should stand idle in the marketplace. All are called to be apostles, it is not a special service. Apostles are God's sent servants on earth. But, many do not want to. They, they think, are in their right to be indifferent to whether their neighbor goes to Hell right before their eyes. They deny the Cross and its folly. They deny the name of Jesus, they can at best tell other Christians that they are happy to be saved, but they do not want to serve Jesus. They have not read what Jesus says in. Luke's Gospel chap. 19 v.11-26. Verse 27 is overlooked by many. Bring these enemies of Mine before me and kill them (send them into the lake of fire, eternally separated from Me says Jesus) Away with you, you cursed, you unjust who practice iniquity.
The Book of Ezekiel says. In Chap. 3. Verses 17-21. That we all have a responsibility for our neighbor. If we do not warn a stubborn people. Tell them that they will die if they do not turn, then their blood will be required of our hands. If we do that, we will, so to speak, have our backs free. We will be held accountable if we do not take the Apostleship seriously.

Now there are those who say. Oh, then we really must get together and see to it that we serve Jesus, so that we do not end up in the lake of fire. It is not that way. No one can, by rushing to do a whole lot of good deeds, avoid God's judgment on the children of iniquity, who have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord in all things. Many forget that when they are saved, they are no longer their own master. They are subject to someone else's kingdom. Namely the kingdom of Jesus Christ, it is He who is the King who has the right to command His people to do whatever He wants them to do. You cannot get together to serve Jesus in order to rush to do a whole lot, so that you also get a reward.

Many will be asked the question when they get to Heaven. Who sent you? Who told you to do what you did on earth. Can you still look Jesus in the eye when you sing. Jesus here I am, send me. Do as you will God with me your clay that offers itself. You are my master I am only your clay. You may examine yourself and stop on your way and see if you serve God in the Spirit and Truth of Jesus. Is the truth in you and you in truth? Did you use your pound/talent in God's service or in your own?

It is important that you make sure that God's Word falls on good soil. Mark's gospel, chapter 24. You know the story of the sower and the soil, otherwise read it yourself. You yourself must have a pure mind before you can serve God the Lord and Jesus will use you at all. You must let God turn the soil of your mind so that God's Word can first take deep root in your heart. From your heart/mind come your thoughts, what you think you say and do. What your heart/mind is filled with, your mouth overflows with. You must be filled with the Word before you can testify to others and do God's good and His pleasing work, both in word and deed. If you are not filled in your thoughts by God's guiding Word, you will only say and do what your own thoughts find right. Therefore. It is extremely important that you allow God to turn the bottom of your life on you. Let God's Word search you completely so that your soil is cleansed of all your own righteousness which is unrighteousness in God's eyes.
