Build Your Life (Matt 7:21-27) ----------------------------------------------- Some people want to claim Jesus as Savior but not as Lord because they don’t want to surrender their will to God’s will. We can’t have a Savior without a Lord because He is the same. God wants us to believe in Jesus as the ONLY way to Salvation, and He wants us to do what HE wants. A true Christian will always bear spiritual fruit. We should live a life that stands the test of time. God is judge and He sets the rules. We shouldn’t fall into the trap of doing works for ourselves, but should be careful where the spotlight falls. If we worry about what others think, then we worry about the wrong thing. What are we doing with the time that God has given us? Is our life all that we hoped for? We should listen, obey, and LIVE, investing ourselves in others: serve God and leave the world a better place; have a great marriage; teach our kids to know and love God so that they spend eternity with Him; have amazing friends. We should live to stand now and forever, and seek a life that stands on Jesus as the solid foundation. Here’s how we can do that: -- Live fully surrendered to Jesus. Make sure He sets our agenda and don’t be ashamed that we stand for Him. -- Make sure our salvation shows up and works out. No one should be shocked that we are a Christian. We should give a testimony, tell people how to trust God and share what He is doing in our life, but don’t hog the spotlight. -- We should be intentional. Identify the life and legacy that we would like and then follow God’s way to that reality.
