Text: Matthew 25:14-30
All believers have a
responsibility to fulfill the purpose of God for the Church in the world. Having
accepted the gospel and becoming children, they must accept the obligation of
passing the message of salvation to other people.
God expects every believer to
join in the urgent task of rescuing those on the path of destruction.
The Lord has endowed every one of
His children with certain gifts, abilities and talents to enable them serve
Him. These talents, which include
ability to preach, teach, evangelize, help, provide succor, etc., are to be
deployed for the benefit of other people. Also, the blessings of God are not to
be selfishly kept to ourselves, but to be used to expand His kingdom; we receive
to give.
As love prompted God’s great gift
of His Son, so His love in our hearts should prompt us to give, minister and
engage in loving services in the church for the welfare and happiness of other
people. Our commitment should constrain us to evangelize, invite people into
the church, warmly receive and care for new church comers and cultivate their
friendship.
We must also not default in paying our
tithes and offerings for the support of the local church and mission work.
As committed members of the body
of Christ, we must be true and faithful ambassadors of Christ by upholding the
teachings of the Bible. If we are faithful and the Lord meets us so, we shall
be greatly rewarded when He comes to take home His own.
