Jesus knows everything and what is deep in our hearts. His true message brings rebirth, true life. Our true joy only comes from God and nothing else. We are to keep believing in the gospel and protect it by not tolerating heresy.

Jesus is going to judge everyone and everything because of sin and how do we know, by our works, do we use our talents that God gave us for His glory. We are called to do violence to our sin and we are to bring discipline to those who are unrepentant.

God is in the adoption business and we are in the default setting doing less for God instead of more. It is so worth it to go through the cost, suffering, and sacrifice in this life for the Lord. We are here to be on mission and we are not to lose heart for the ministry is our treasure.

Serving Christ is the ultimate gift that brings the ultimate joy. We are purchased with a price that Jesus paid so that we can have that intimate relationship with Him and reflect it to others. He changes hearts and love flows naturally from God to others.

The Kingdom of Heaven has a purpose here on Earth, we are sent out on mission. We are born into the kingdom of Satan, where we hear lies and live for ourselves. Life is only about Jesus, His Kingdom brings true joy.

We have the wrong kind of knowing, we are dirty rotten sinners. When we hear and know the truth we should change, we are to make disciples of all nations which Jesus has commanded us to do. Right kind of knowing produces change and transformation. Bad kind of knowing puffs up.

Witness Jesus, you know Him you proclaim Him. If you are not proclaiming Jesus there is a compromise somewhere in your life and in your faith in the gospel.

God is calling now not at your own convenience and we are to respond to His call! Our focus must only be on Christ and nothing else, He will transcend everything in your life. Being a His disciple is the call and everything else will fall through the way God has it planned!

Jesus suffered so that Gods glorious grace would be glorified, that is why the cross brought Him joy.

We are going to suffer because that is our calling, to glorify Jesus!

The letter to Ephesus wasn’t only to them but to us also, the Church! There is an idea of “do YOU love Jesus more than these?” (John 21:15). We should have a white hot love for Jesus, a love that is infinite.
