Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Today's Thought: Let us be ready to be separated for the Lord.
Robert McCheyne is a Scottish pastor who only had eight years of full service to the Lord. But with eight years, McChenney made them count for the Lord. McCheyne emphasized the importance of a holy life. Writing to a new missionary Dan Edwards, he said: In great measure, according to the purity and perfections of the instrument, will be the success. It is not great talents God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.
God does not demand from us more talent and more abilities. He does not ask us to become expert in anything. But what god is demanding is a holy life. It would be impossible for us to be used by the Lord if we continue to live in sin.
It is important to give our full commitment unto the Lord by living a holy life. We must allow God to work in us His righteousness. We can never be sinless, but we must commit living a holy life. This is a 'must' requirement if we want God to work in us.
