If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of GOD. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in GOD. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory. (Col 3:1-4)
Our focus then, should be on Him and eternal things which will last, not on the temporary things of this world, which will be burned up when the Lord returns. Our life in Christ is to do His will to reach the lost in everything we do and to do His work of missions, ministry, and discipleship with evangelism: seeking those who do not have a secure relationship with Him through repentance and faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary that they might receive His great Salvation and teaching others until all are grown up into the full measure of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Saviour, and King.
Until the King returns for His own, and to establish His Kingdom of Heaven here on this earth, He calls His ambassadors of the Kingdom of GOD to minister to those around us who are hurting and in need as GOD provides. We commands us to love one another, as He loved us, and disciple one another in His Word that we might grow thereby. He has commissioned all His servants and saints to go with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and as we go, take His Good News of reconciliation with GOD the Father through repentance of sIn and trust in Him to those around us, that those who hear and believe might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
