We cannot go about the work of ministry anyhow. Faithfulness to the laid down instructions is how we compete according to the rules.

The believers' righteousness is established upon the redemptive work of Christ and His resurrection. No one is righteous upon his performance or law keeping. Righteousness is the gift of God through the blood of the Son and it is eternal.

We cannot afford to talk like unbelievers. We can't afford throw words around without caution like unbelievers. We are assured of our salvation. We therefore speak with boldness and conviction. When we talk we talk as those who beyond every reasonable doubt know what we are talking about.

The man in Christ is perfect. That is, he is complete. It is his state in or condition in Christ. It is by this he shows himself upright. In Christ we become to do. We do not do to become.

The message of the gospel is clear. It isn't confusing. Confusion will not birth faith. It is simple. Totally anchored on Christ. It is preaching what the mind must align to. It is the good news of what God has done in His Son which cause men to change their minds for the better.

There's a proper way of bringing men who don't fully understand the truth to the truth. In all we do we must ensure we don't quench the zeal of men. In love and wisdom the souls of men will be preserved for true purpose..

Apollos teaches us how to respond to truth. He teaches us how to be openhearted to truth. He shows us humility and true zeal. He shows us that the cause of Christ worths far more than our ego or pride.

God never abandons. God never forsakes. God never leaves His own. God's love and mercy are His loyalty. His word His integrity on the line. A very present help in times of need. He takes care. He gives care. He always come through for His own.

Faith is proven by works. The fruit of our faith is our conduct corresponding to it. The faith we have is to find expression in our love walk towards one another. Faith not given expression in love towards others is lifeless.

God's consistency is obvious in the written word. His fatherhood isn't a new testament revelation. His fatherhood has always been His nature. Seen in His goodness and uprightness towards the ungodly. Reaching out to the sinful man to show him the way is His fatherhood in display.
