A Life that Honours God

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Paul obviously viewed the Christian life as being consumed by Jesus, focused on Him and taken over by His will and desires. 

All of life is meant to be lived out of a relationship with Jesus, not just one day a week or a few days a year.  Everything we do is meant to be directed by Him. 

When you live your life focused on Jesus like that, everything else falls into place.  That’s why it’s critical to start here. 

If you miss this step, none of the other steps will work right. 

Living a life focused on Jesus means that you’ll honor God, produce good fruit, grow, and never give up. I will speak more about this tomorrow.

Have a great day 

John
