Colossians 3:18-25 – 18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.
22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from
the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25 Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
Two things I want to point out here.
One, if we live the way we are told to, life works smooth instead of being a mess.
Two, you’re not doing it for yourself or just to please others. We are supposed to do it because this shows obedience to the Lord.
The Lord says if you love me you will keep my commands.
John 14:21 – 21 Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”
Don’t listen to the world. This country is broke and in debt negligently. Divorce is at 50 percent. Suicide is rampant with alcoholism and drug use. Do you know what the news media and powers that be have to say? We need to remove God more.
Obey the Word of God. The Lord wants us to succeed in the Kingdom. He wants us to succeed in reaching others with His love. As a result He wants to reward us and doesn’t wish for any of us to have to be repaid for our wrong, but there is no favoritism because our Lord is fair.
If you can’t obey now how will you be able to obey later? Start putting it into practice if you haven’t, today.
