Greetings FB and Friends
While as a student and a teacher, I noticed that some students received credit for a group project that didn’t contribute much toward completing the assignment. As a Christian and pastor, I have noticed something similar in the church.
As Christians, we all have been given the assignment of spreading the gospel and making disciples of all people. And if we are honest, many in the church are contributing little or nothing to that assignment. Yet, these same ones will be ready to share in the credit for the results achieved by those who did the work. But unlike school, God will not assign credit to individuals based upon what the group achieved. If we want to receive credit for completing the assignment, we must have the work to validate our claim.
I would urge all Christians who want to share in the glory of God’s Kingdom to become active participants in the campaign to save souls and reach the world for Christ. I have found spreading the gospel and making disciples to be a labor of love with the potential of eternal reward that anyone can be a part of. A reward not only for those who do the work, but also for those who are the recipients of their efforts.
So, don’t rely on the work of others to secure your seat in glory because it won’t. But do your own part in completing God’s Great Assignment so He will say to you “Job Well Done!” for the work you, and you alone, will get credit for.
Blessings
