Action

We as Christian men and women view our lives as an opportunity to serve the Lord in an active manner.  Even though out salvation is not based on our "works" we strive to be consistently trying to win others to Christ and build the kingdom of God.  As we do our "normal traffic pattern" of life, we strive to help others in building their faith in God and then sending them out as spiritual multipliers to win even more.  In this manner we are consistently winning and building others for the cause of Christ.  This is the "action" which Jesus Christ called us to when He commanded us to "go into all the world..." helping to fulfill the Great Commission and help to change the world.

In Luke 19:10 Jesus says "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."  Here are some other verses that talk about "action.  Acts 26:18; Col. 1:10, 3:23.  And what about Philippians 1:27 which says: "Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ; so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel..."  Paul was obviously very serious here in his dissertation about our need to "act" upon our faith.

If you follow Christ then you are of "one mind" with all the others who strive to take "action" toward the spread of the gospel of Christ.

See ya,
