Here is an audio link for today’s post.
Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people, knowing that you will receive the reward of an inheritance from the Lord. You serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:23 & 24
Does Jesus look for perfection or excellence in the life of a believer?
Excellence, of course!
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things.
Philippians 4:8
One day all believers will be perfectly sinless. But the scripture tells us that for now perfection is merely our goal.
Not that I have already reached the goal or am already perfect, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12
Excellence is a worthy ambition for every believer when it comes to the way we conduct our lives. Not with sinful notes of arrogant obsession. But with the winsome attributes of our Savior and Lord.
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14
Share the Good News in your world!
Isaiah 52:7
