Grace Communion Fellowship

While we were still enemies, Jesus died for us. Shouldn’t we do the same for our enemies?

How well do we love the people we can’t stand? As followers of Christ, we are called by Jesus to seek the well-being of all people. Our obedience and devotion to Christ comes first, even if we don’t feel like it. This means taking Jesus seriously, being teachable, and choosing to follow him consistently as the Lord of our lives. It is important for us to recognize that we cannot love as Jesus loves without changing the way we think. Think about some difficult people in your life, maybe people who are very different from you. Ask Jesus to transform your mind about the way you view these people through His compassion, forgiveness, and grace to all.

A living sacrifice stays on the altar, forever offering her life to the devotion and service for the Lord.

We worship God because he is actually deserving of our worship, allegiance, and devotion. How do we worship? By honoring God with the bodies he has given us. It can be easy to forget how miraculous and precious our bodies are. Each of us is created intricately in our mother’s womb, woven together by our Maker with awe and wonder. As followers of Christ, we must remember we are not our own, and we were bought by the blood of Jesus. Therefore, we surrender to God every aspect of our lives, acknowledging that everything we have belongs to Him. Reflect on what each part of your body can do. How are you choosing to honor God with the amazing body He’s given you?
