Unbelievers will spend an eternity in Hell, but believers will worship the LORD forever; in this world we worship Him by hearing and sharing God's Word.

Worldly labor and gains are momentary, but our purpose in life is to share the gospel with others.

It is amazing grace that God answers and hears our prayers: He talks to us, and we get to be in his presence. We can petition Him (even over and over again), and He answers our prayers according to what is best for us.

You have been given the faith that set you free, you have been given the hidden key to freedom (God's Word), and even though the power is not yours, you have been given the only power that frees.

Freedom is service; we are free to serve for no selfish reason at all because we have been served by Christ. Freedom is struggle; struggle against the sinful nature, struggle against the yoke of the law, and struggle to be on the lookup for the snares of temptation. But freedom also means we can grow fruits of faith through our new man who is connected to Christ.

Christ’s cross puts you in the crucible (a clay pot used for heating metal until it becomes molten), and the crucible (your crosses) removes your dross.

You are elected (predestined) by the Father, who is ruling over all creation because he loves you, You are sanctified (set apart) by the Spirit so that you have the obedience that is faith. Therefor you trust that you are justified by the Son because he is your savior.

When you trust in Christ, you are a member of the invisible church of all believers, and it is God's word that gives you that trust through the Holy Spirit, who is working to make you believe.

Is it the motivation for using our gifts? Do we know what it looks like? Do we see its great priority?
