Life Principles For Those Who Choose
To Follow Jesus And Live The Discipled Life
Psalm 2:11 Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling. (NASB95)
Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. (NIV)
Core Value: Worship & Service
Principle #3: The quality disciple chooses a way of life that is driven by a passionate worship of God that expresses itself in humble service to Him.
Application: The quality disciple chooses a way of life that is driven by a passionate worship of God that expresses itself in humble service to Him.
• The disciple of Jesus Christ does not compartmentalize his or her worship and service to God. Instead, worship and service is all consuming.
• We must worship and serve God as He desires—to do so with a holy reverence and acute awareness of who He is (Almighty God)…and who we are (sinners, saved by grace).
• It is humility that helps us to better appreciate and live out the discipled life, as one who desires to follow Jesus Christ.
Reflect & Respond: Some Really Good Questions To Ponder…
How do I really know that I am worshiping God in a way that pleases Him?
Is my life being defined as personal selfishness or by sacrificial service?
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, what a mighty and awesome God You are! May my worship never be watered down to a religious habit. Instead, may my relationship with You be grounded in my worship and service to You.
