Kingdom Living - The Commands of Christنموونە
Commands of Christ: 2
Do not put God to the test.
We are not to go off in pursuit of anything, including the Kingdom, and expect the Lord to bail us out. If He leads us into a risky situation, we are to enter it willing to sacrifice everything and risk anything. He may choose to deliver us for His glory. He may choose to let us suffer and sacrifice and die for His glory. Difficult situations are meant to be a test of us and not of God.
Scripture
About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
