And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. If anyone teaches otherwise, and live by wholesome words, even the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness, you are a proud person, knowing nothing, but disputes over the petty of words, lacking of any truth, the flesh thinks that gain is godliness: from such a person withdraw yourself. But you’ll find that godliness with contentment is great gain. For you brought nothing into this world and it is certain you can carry nothing out. And having food and housing, be content. But they that are rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown them in life’s destruction and victims of eternal punishment. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some live their entire life for, they have fallen from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows. But flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, and have lived a good life before many witnesses.
You are called to be His witnesses to a perverted and evil world. You are IN the world, but you are not OF the world any longer. You can see the door is open and the Lord beckons you to come through it. You became new in Christ at the moment you confessed His Holiness and His sacrifice on the Cross. When you confessed that you were a sinner and could not gain Eternal Life through the law, but only through Him. You asked Him to come into your hearts and be your Savior for evermore. Having done this, you received the Gift of Salvation and Eternal Life in Him.
Then be available to those who are new babes in Him, that their walk may be strengthened, that they may grow in Him, for He wishes for none to perish, but for all who would desire Him, to have life eternal, and have it abundantly. You have certain obligations to Him, before others. You are to be wise in His Spirit and to seek His protection in Knowledge of the Truth; you are to put on the whole armor of God, that in “the last days” you will be able to stand, and withstand all things that the world may throw at you..
That time is now. The Holy Spirit is heavily making an impression upon your heart to prepare for the Day of His calling, and to bring as many souls along as time and effort will allow. HE paves the way; it is your duty to Him to keep your feet firmly on His path, that His Name may be glorified and that you as His child KNOW you have refuge in Him, no matter what may happen in this present world.
Bring His Word to a population of hungry babes lost and in need of hidden manna. Be an island where people may find comfort and rest in His mercy and love; Desire for His word to be spread far and wide like the Waters of Life flow from the Savior. Be bound to His Purpose with steadfast determination. Hear the cries of those who are teetering on the edge of sanity: For those who have thought more than once about ending their lives, because of the persistent beatings of this world system. See the miracles of redemption and awakening by the loving words of Christ. You are to be LIKE Him in your concerns for your others, and to open up to them The Word, that they may believe, see the Lord touch lives with His healing Spirit, that they may be released from the fear that grips so many hearts in this day and age. You are HIS workmen, and you must be about His work! Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven!
