Luke 6:46 NASB, Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
This Summer I am challenging each of you to step out in your faith by participating in the “Watch me Live my Life” 90-4-90 Challenge. Just as Paul encouraged others to watch and then emulate his life as he worked out his own Salvation, I am calling on each of you to do the same. Shouldn’t our hearts hunger to be all that God has called us to be and to honor Him by living out His commandments?
 
God’s purpose in salvation does not only consist of freedom from guilt and the penalty of sin. No question, God does forgive and rescue sinners from Hell, and He does this on account of what Jesus did on the cross on our behalf. Yet, God’s purpose in salvation is broader than that. He also saves people from the power of sin in their lives so that they may live righteously for his glory.
 
It says in Titus 2:14 NKJV, Christ “who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works” As Christians, as those who are “saved,” we are to respond by working out our salvation with “fear and trembling,” not as repayment for what He has done for us but rather in gratitude for what He has done for us.
 
The challenge is that we need to honor God in our daily living, just as God commanded. This not only fulfills what He has commanded, it also allows for our daily lives to witness to others and be used as a tool in fulfilling the Great Commission. What better way can we honor God then by actually living according to His word. Who knows in what mighty way He may respond to His people actually living for Him in all areas of their lives coram deo. (before the Face of God)
