2 Corinthians 6:4-10

[4] but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, [5] beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; [6] by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love; [7] by truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; [8] through honor and dishonor, through slander and praise. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; [9] as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as punished, and yet not killed; [10] as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

“And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’” - 1 Corinthians 1:30-31

“Christians must not use theological knowledge selfishly.”

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.” - 1 Corinthians 3:6-7

Key Takeaway's from Chapters 6-8 in Leviticus:
- Every sin is ultimately against God and calls for genuine repentance.
- God is worthy of our best, not what is left over.
- Faithfulness in ordinary, daily obedience is an act of worship.
- God alone determines how He is to be worshiped.
- Fellowship with God is possible only through atonement.
- Ministry flows from cleansing and consecration, not personal merit.
- Every sacrifice and every priest in Leviticus ultimately points to Jesus Christ, whose perfect sacrifice and eternal priesthood accomplish forever what these ceremonies could only symbolize.

"Leviticus 8:22-30 explains blood was to be placed on Aaron's right ear, thumb and big toe. Explaining that the priest's hearing, working and walking all belonged to God. Christians, likewise, should dedicate our ears (to hear God's word), our hands (to serve Him) and our feet (to walk in obedience)."

"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship." - Romans 12:1

This is continual. Moment by moment of every day until our last breath.

"But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." - Acts 20:24

@FoxNews The world will only know peace when they submit themselves to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

[Derek Lane @derekwesleylane]

“Christians should enjoy fellowship with God rather than merely seeking forgiveness. The Christian life is not only escaping judgment but also enjoying communion with God.”
