Aiming for "Well Done"
Lifelong faithfulness and effectiveness as Christ’s ambassador is aided by both the unsettling thoughts of our coming evaluation as well as the joyful prospects of our eternal home.
Useful to the Lord
Tenacious Endurance
A faithful and fruitful Christian life requires a tenacious endurance, which God supplies those who are resolute in trusting him and serving him.
Leveraging the Detours
We can expect non-Christians to often misunderstand the gospel message, but that should only motivate us to passionately and strategically clarify the truth.
Midcourse Adjustments
As God’s called agents in this world we must remain focused on our particular assignments, never fazed by the providential redirections as to how and where he utilizes us.
Whatever Comes Next
To be useful ambassadors of Christ we cannot be impeded by closed doors, instead we must trust our sovereign God and embrace the opportunities before us whatever they might be.
Undeterred
God’s effective ambassadors must resolve to definitively call people to respond to Christ and be faithful to respond to their responses.
Prepared for Eternity
We are motivated to boldly proclaim the gospel when we understand the horrendous problem of sin and death, prizing the gracious forgiveness God made possible through the risen Christ.
Ultimate Realities
Fruitful ambassadors of Christ are enthralled with their Savior who fulfilled the Scriptures and sacrificed himself to purchase our eternal redemption.
Imperfect Previews
Useful ambassadors of Christ need to see earthly blessings as imperfect previews of the forthcoming realities to be graciously granted in God’s eternal kingdom.
Open Doors for the Word
We must see ourselves as Christ’s ambassadors always prepared and looking for opportunities to talk about God’s word and his plan of salvation.
Divine Authority
We must never forget that it is the omnipotent God who enlists each of us to serve him and advance his truth in our generation.
Anything, Anyplace, Anytime
God has planned a specific set of purposes for our generation and will personally work to enlist you to accomplish a set of them for his glory.
