When Abram was struggling with fear and discontentment, God gave him encouragement that God was his exceeding great reward. The material blessings that we receive are not our reward, but God himself is our reward. The knowledge of Jesus Christ is the fullness of life eternal, growing in greater fullness of our exceeding great reward. Finally, eternal life in heaven is identified by the fullness of Jesus Christ, who is our exceeding great reward.

As we begin a new year, it is very important that we are disciplined and purposeful to commit to serving the Lord because our natural tendencies will lead us to drift away from God. Therefore, here are 7 simple commands to focus on as a goal each day as we serve the Lord in the new year: 1) Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. 2) Love your neighbor as yourself. 3) Fear God. 4) Keep God’s commandments. 5) Do justly. 6) Love mercy. 7) Walk humbly with thy God.

While the world may imply that any judgment is wrong, actually God calls upon his people to exercise righteous judgment. We should not condemn others because we are prone to the same sins as others. We should not judge according to appearance or with hypocrisy or with partiality, but we judge based on the word of God. We discern according to the Holy Spirit and the scriptures to judge righteously, just as Christ is our Righteous Judge.

Jesus Christ has perfect knowledge and is perfectly obedient to God the Father, but yet as the Son of man he learned obedience through suffering, setting an example for his people to follow. Suffering is a beneficial class where we can learn humility, obedience, and submission to God’s will. We can fellowship with Christ in sufferings in a way we cannot during prosperity and ease. Let us value the blessing of suffering to learn the lessons God will have for us during those hard trials in our lives.

With the minister setting the example for the whole church, we find that the end of our conversation – our entire manner of life – should be anchored in the immutable nature of God – Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. The stabilizing truth of Christ’s immutable nature is a bedrock in the midst of trials, tempest, and inevitable change in our lives.

Jesus affirmed during his message on the doctrines of grace that it’s the Spirit that quickens, the flesh can have not involvement or profit in the means of regeneration. Many times today in Christianity we hear people calling upon the man to perform some action to be saved. However, since our flesh profits nothing, is enmity with God, and has no ability to be subject to God’s law, how then can we perform any action be saved? Jesus Christ affirms the sovereignty of God in regeneration with no action or profit from our flesh.

In the midst of a dark and cold spiritual environment, the children of light should gravitate to fellowship together. The Lord takes special note when those who fear his name speak often one to another and think on his name. When we fellowship together with fellow believers who fear the Lord, then we have fellowship ultimately with Jesus Christ. May we invite the fellowship of Jesus Christ into our families, churches, and friendships by fellowship with those who fear the Lord.

Examining the lukewarm, pretense of religion in Nehemiah’s latter day, we see an irreverent religious culture that saw no problem with giving God the leftovers and scraps instead of the best they had. The irreverent generation of that day closely resembles Christianity in our time as well. We need to be fervent to give God the very best we have in worship and in every area of our lives, to do everything heartily as unto the Lord.

In John 6, Jesus Christ simply and plainly preaches the doctrines of grace, of God’s sovereignty in salvation. We find two contrasting responses to the beautiful truths of God’s sovereignty in salvation. One group of carnal disciples were offended by these truths and went away from following Christ. The disciples, instead, viewed these beautiful truths as the words of eternal life and refused to leave Christ. May we hold to these beautiful doctrines of grace and go nowhere else than Christ and the church who preaches God’s soveriegnty in salvation.
