Day 261 - Our duties

Three passages within the same two pages talk define our duties as Christians in this life:

Since God chose you to be holy people He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:12-13

Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. Colossians 4:5-6

For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people, He alone examines the motives of our hearts. 1 Thessalonians 1:4

Those things being said, I can only affirm that God knows what we are doing and why. We can't be hypocrites before Him. He has given us clear instructions and on the day of our judgement, the truth will prevail. He knows the truth, He IS the truth, and before Him we are just small little grasshoppers.

Let His will be done, the way He wants, how He wants. And let us follow His instructions with honest hearts.
Amen.
