DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD

A Short Treatise On Standards For Christadelphians

Let Us Examine Ourselves

Sometimes we need to do some spiritual stocktaking in order to see where our lives are heading. Have we lost our first love? Do we joy in Christ as we did when we came forth from the waters of baptism? Do we take hold of the opportunities that come our way to promote the name of Christ to a perishing world? Do we find conversation about the Truth easy, or is our talk wholly on a mundane plane? Have we been beguiled by pride and become the victims of the flesh?

The will of the flesh, with all its subtlties, must not rule over us. Instead, we should delight to do the will of our Heavenly Father at all times. Jesus promised: "If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him" (John 14:23). If there is not found in us that conscious desire to "do all to the glory of God", then the Father and the Son will not dwell within us. This can only mean that we shall hear the most terrible words of all Scripture: "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matt. 7:23).

We need to examine ourselves to see if we be "in the Faith". If we find that we have slipped, we need to make firm resolutions for the future. Our good example and zeal will strengthen our fellow saints to do likewise.

"Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give unto every man according as his work shall be" (Rev. 22:12).

 

IN THE WORLD, BUT NOT OF IT
