Epaphras, who is one of your own, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings, always striving earnestly for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.
Colossians 4:12
How do we fulfill God’s will in our lives? There are many ways to follow Christ. Allow me to mention four ways today.
**Listen to God through His Word and His Church.
**Obey God and glorify Him in your life.
**Value the truths of God’s Word and the life He has given us.
3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-6
**That I would grow in faith
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
Romans 10:17
**That I would love God more
And he answered, ” You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself .”
**That I would share the gospel message
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
Have wonderful New Year and may God bless you all in 2024!
