Living on Mission

For the last two weeks, we have talked about how we invest every day in something. We were encouraged through scripture that investing in being Spirit filled and Gospel-formed would lead to enjoying eternal life today. This Sunday, we will see what results from those two investments. How does a life transformed by the Gospel and filled with the Spirit occupy its time? If the primary occupation of the flesh is to indulge the flesh, then what is the primary work of the believer? How does someone relieved from the burden of self-righteousness, redeemed from the debt of sin, and empowered by the gifts of the Holy Spirit spend this new life they have been given? The new-found freedom of being born again with all our debts canceled frees us from our old mission of trying to serve the flesh and prove ourselves and allows us to give our lives to God’s mission instead; the furtherance of the Gospel into other's lives. Because he gave all to me, I can freely give.
