If we knew God was to come in 2hours, how would our priorities, lifestyle, and relationships change? That was a question in our discussion in our bible study group on Friday, and I guess every cell group would have gone through this question at one point at another. In a serious discussion I think many would choose to share the gospel more, start to lead a more "holy" lifestyle, in hope of some redemption. Did what I just say sound right to you?
Because it shouldn't. We live our life hoping for redemption? Why do we need too when we have Christ? We should live our life knowing we already have redemption in Christ. Why do we have to wait till the last minute to share the gospel? I reckon one possible reason is because we know that what we're doing is not in line with God's priorities. That doesn't mean we can't aim for good grades, or money. But what are our motives for such goals? For the praise of God's glory or for our own personal gain?
This weeks sermons in OCF and church had a link for me in terms of application. Prayer. Do we make decisions on what will bring God praise?
