~ 3 Aspects of Christian
Service ~
This is the
third part of a three part blog series which presents, “3 Vital Christian
Truths,” “3 Purposes of Christian Service,” and “3 Aspects of Christian
Service.”
Before God ~ This
is the reality of our service for
God. Consider the example of Abraham. “When Abram was
ninety-nine years old, the Lord
appeared to Abram and said to him, ‘I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant
between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.’ Then Abram fell on his
face, and God talked with him” (Genesis 17:1-3).
After God ~ This
relates to our obedience in our
service for God. “If there arises among you a prophet
or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or
the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after
other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not
listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know
whether you love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the Lord your
God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall
serve Him and hold fast to Him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams
shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the
Lord your God, who brought you out
of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you
from the way in which the Lord
your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst”
(Deuteronomy 13:1-5).
With God ~ This
has to do with our communion with God
as we serve Him. Consider the example of Enoch.
“Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. After he begot Methuselah,
Enoch walked with God three hundred
years, and had sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred
and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked
with God; and he was not, for God took him” (Genesis 5:21-24).
application: Are you walking before God in reality? Are you following after God in obedience? Are you walking with God in continual communion? If not, why not?
