Verse 6 - "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ."
Active to me means regularly exercising our salvation; sharing our relationship with Christ through words, actions, relationships, and service. I former spiritual mentor once told me that if you find yourself sharing the same "God happenings and events" in your life with other people; that you need to examine your walk with Him. We should have fresh accounts to share of how God is working in and through our lives. If we do not, then we are just "playing church". I think this applies to us as individuals and as a church. We must be active in sharing our faith.
When we are active in sharing our faith, God gives us a fuller understanding of just how much He loves us. Who doesn't want that feeling today?
About Me
- Rich
- I am a sinner saved by God's grace. I, like most people, find myself scrambling to make time for God. I decided to start a blog after reading "Too Busy Not To Pray", by Bill Hybels. This is the 3rd time I read this book, but the 1st time it made a difference. I need to "slow down" and spend time with my Creator. Mr. Hybels recommends journaling, which I tried in the past. I thought I would commit to creating a blog as the method of journaling. My intentions were to blog every day, but then life happened. I need to do better.
