Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristSample
Commands of Christ: 66
Be ready and watching for My return.
This command of Jesus is both important and urgent. He calls for vigilance. He calls for faithfulness. He calls for consistency. He warns against selfishness, laziness, and distracting anxiety. We are to live in a state of service to our
King. It is not that we can thereby earn our salvation, but it is evidence of whom we serve. There are evidently those who claim to serve the Lord, but their lives betray the fact that they are actually serving themselves. They will be cast out by the Lord when He returns. As His servants, we are to constantly be about carrying out His instructions and His desires so we will be ready for His return at all times.
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.
