Hi all
Really wanna encourage everyone to use this blog to post some of the things God's been speaking to you about or doing in your life. Doesn't have to be very deep or long, its just good to hear about God's working in your life, and can often be very encouraging for everyone.
Been starting my QT on 1 Thess, which is quite interesting cuz i dont remember the last time i studied 1 Thess. The thing that struck me came from chapt 1 vs 3:
"We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."
Faith, hope and love... sound familiar? Haha paul uses it ALOT around his letters. The thing that struck me was that these 3 are all from God. I remember from our Eph 2:8-10 memory verse, where our dear friend John McArthur was saying that even the faith we received is a gift of God, no less the hope we have in our justification, sanctification and glorification, and especially his infinite unfailing unchanging eternal love for us.
Yet the response is totally up to us. Our work, our labor, our endurance, those are all responses to what God has already done. In fact our entire life is a response to God, our act of worship.
So ... how's our life response?
In His love,
Dan
