Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church: YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE

YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE

How's your Christian life? "Wow, it's fantastic! I sing in the choir. I work with the youth. I teach Sunday School. I'm on the Evangelism Committee." Friend, I didn't ask you about your church life. I asked, "How's your Christian life?"

Too often the church is guilty of making its members so busy just for the sake of busyness, and as a result, they forget about the business of the Father.

The business of the Father is the mission of Jesus Christ, the redemption of mankind from sin, death, and the power of the devil. Christ Jesus accomplished this redemption for us on the cross. This redemption is ours when by the power of the Gospel we make Jesus our Savior.

A Christian is a Christian not by what He does, but by receiving what Christ has done for him. Therefore search the Scriptures. Learn of Jesus and trust Him for everything.

Read: John 5:39;
