DAILY DEVOTION MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT
Galatians 4:14
[14]And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
God’s grace trains us who are saved to be zealous for good deeds
“Good deeds” refer to deeds that are done out of sincere love for God and others in obedience to His Word. “Zealous” is a word that Paul used to describe his fanatical zeal for Judaism prior to his conversion It was also used to describe the fanatical Jewish sect that was devoted to ridding Israel of Roman domination. The Zealots were totally devoted to their cause, even to the point of risking their own lives to achieve their goals. You would not call them lukewarm!
Could you rightly describe yourself as a fanatic for good deeds? It seems to me that the vast majority of Christians dabble at good deeds when it is convenient, when they don’t have anything else that they’d rather do. But if we have been bought out of the slave market of sin by the blood of our great God and Savior, we should be fanatics for good deeds. We ought to be totally devoted to serving our new Master.
Prayer
Heavenly Father help me to be devoted to you as my master in Jesus Christ's, name, Amen.
