Good morning my “Walking with Jesus” friends, What is the most significant accountability moment you have ever experienced? We’ve probably all had times when we’ve been called to give account of our actions, right? Was that a terrifying experience for you? But have you ever been invited to an event where you were going to be honored and celebrated for your accomplishments? Oh my, what a difference between those two appearances for accountability. Did you know the Bible calls us to prepare for BOTH those experiences in the future? Let’s take a closer look today.
We’re with the apostle Paul as he’s writing 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and yesterday, we looked at this powerful statement from Paul in verse 9: “So we make it our goal to please God, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.” (2 Cor. 5:9) Paul is writing to and about Christians. He’s declaring that for those of us who understand the price God paid, so we could be redeemed from our sin bondage and forgiven of our sin; and then given the Holy Spirit to live within us, powerfully guiding us for God honoring living… well of course a priority for us should be to honor God with every aspect of our lives, every day, right? Why? As a continual expression of THANKS to Jesus for all He did for our salvation! And that priority should be both while alive here on earth and later when alive in heaven after our death and resurrection.
