Romans 15:2 Each of us should please our neighbours for their good, to build them up.

How often do you go out of your way to do things for the people around you? How often do you put them first?

We live in a society where we are conditioned to look after ourselves first and foremost – this is not what God teaches us!

Yes we need to take care of ourselves, but to build up God’s kingdom we need to demonstrate His love for everyone around us and lift them up to better places so they can see Christ more clearly.

Ephesians 4:12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

It is dangerous to quote a phrase from scripture without taking it in context – Christ has chosen people in our societies to be the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers – these are the people who spread the gospel in the churches.

But we are the people on the front line. We are the people living with others. We can reach so many more people.

Live out your life with Christ. Show people they mean a lot to God. Share His love with everyone around! You have been equipped!

Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Who was it who convinced you to trust in Christ? Think about it before you answer.

Christ gives us amazing people who can verbalise what most of us would like to say but cannot find the words to do; but those people are simply servants of God who come to share their feelings and knowledge.

The Holy Spirit changes people’s hearts as they hear the gospel message; we share it and pass on our bit, but it is the Holy Spirit who makes those changes.

Thank you Jesus for leaving us the Holy Spirit!

Hebrews 6:9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.

Sometimes God’s Word seems to be too harsh for us to agree with! But it is the truth and it is always right. God is always striving to have the gospel spread to all people and He wants us to support Him all the way!

We know, through our bibles, there are much better things coming in our future. We may feel like we are drowning in the mire, but we know the future holds eternal life.

Living with Christ is a very positive experience because He continues to support us in all walks of life. What a Saviour. What an amazing God we have!
