SEEK DAILY (NBC) DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR APRIL 09, 2022 (WALKING WORTHY OF GOD’S LOVE)
TOPIC: WALKING WORTHY OF GOD’S LOVE
Bible Text: 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12
Memory Verse: “Encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.” 1 Thessalonians 2:12, NIV
MESSAGE
God’s great love should demand our appreciation in living a life worthy of such love. For this reason, Paul explicitly recommended to the Thessalonians what they must do in response to God’s great love.
Apostle Paul began with personal testimony – calling the Thessalonians, and indeed, God to witness to how he and members of his team had lived in holiness, righteousness, and blamelessness among them. He reminded them of how they treated each of them in the way a father deals with his children. Paul urged them with much encouragement and comfort to live lives worthy of God who called them into His kingdom and glory.
The bottom line is that those who carry the message of God’s kingdom should set example of worthy lives to others. Similarly, everyone who has received the message should live worthy of God’s kingdom and glory. As a child of God, you are required to set good examples of worthy life as a model for those you are trying to reach with the gospel. This becomes our appreciation to God for all He has done for us through Christ.
Insight: There is a lifestyle that is in congruence with our calling as Christians.
Prayer: Father, help me to live a life worthy of my calling in Christ.
