Timotheose - A son in the Faith

REWARDS

The chapter is summed up in the sixth chapter of Paul's letter to the church in Galatia; "Do not be decieved: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

I cannot but feel that, along with a blunting of the majesty of God and the 'fear' that should be our reponse to His aweful presence the concept of judgement is not held in high esteem in our day.

It is as though professors; I am using the term to those who 'profess' Jesus as Lord, believe themselves somehow immune to being judged and condemned if found wanting. Does not Matthew relate the words of Christ truthfully? "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."

I pray that I am not decieved and that I sow to the Spirit and not to the flesh. I pray we all 'work out our salvation with fear and trembling' this day and every day.


Feed the hungry
Give the one who thirsts drink
Clothe the naked
Release the oppressed
Visit the prisoner
Rescue the lost
Loose the chains of injustice

Love for all

For the glory of He who called us
