The heading Live for Christ
does not mean to work full time for Christ alone. It does mean that with
your regular Job, you can live and work for Christ also. Living for
Christ does not mean that you have to work with files and books. It
simply means to show to the world about the love and character of Christ
through your life.
You can find some points through which you can live in Christ
Patience is one of the characters which
should be shown in your life when you live for Christ. It is also one of
the fruits of Holy Spirit which is developed in you when you accept
Christ as your personal saviour. You need to show patience in everything
in daily life so that the world will see your patience and will take a
step to know about it and in the way can be leaded to Christ. “Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love” – Ephesians 4:2.
Humbleness should be the basic character
in a Christ centred life. Jesus Christ, the Lord left his heavenly
honour and came to the earth to lead a life according to the law and
became an ultimate sacrifice for the man kind. He himself led a life
with humbleness. He was so humble that when the enemies tried to kill
him, he stood there without doing anything, which he could have done as
he is God. When the enemy comes against you, be humble and show patience
in your daily life. God who created you and the heavens and Earth is
seeing you from above and he will know your heart and show you the
results at his appointed time.
Love is the main character a follower of
Jesus should have as Jesus is Love. Love covers all the characters Jesus
had as it also covers patience and humbleness. So Love is the major
character you should have in your life, the love for God and the love
for other mankind. When you love others, you will have the compassion to
know about their problems and pray for them so that they can also
experience the love of Christ in their life. Love is one of the fruits
of Holy Spirit also.
When people turn against you, it is
difficult to love them and show patience and humbleness. To overcome
this problem, the one good thing you need to do is work hard on what you
are doing. If you are in a secular job, work hard so that you will earn
results with the help of God and people can recognize you. Do your
work, not bothering about what men points against you, be holy, and pray
for yourself to be humble, having patience and love and pray for
others.
It is difficult to live a life that of
Jesus, to have patience, humbleness and with love. But pray hard, work
hard, and see how the Holy Spirit helps you to live a life of Christ.
God bless you.
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love” – 1 John 4: 8.
