Romans 13:11-14 “Life Is Best Lived As A Gift Spent Well”
Live With A Sense Of Urgency • It is an interesting paradox… we know that our life expectancies are ticking away but we live and act like we will live forever. • “what happened… where did my life go?” • “This is the day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24) • Living without regrets… • We tend to worry about the wrong things! (Matthew 6:27-30)
Live With A Sense Of Eternity • Romans 13:11 (NIV); “The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” • “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment...” Hebrews 9:27 (NIV) • “…while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18
Live With A Sense Of Priority • “If you really only had a month left to live, how would your priorities change? How would you spend the last 30 days or 720 hours, on this planet?” • Romans 13:12(NLV); “Night is almost gone. Day is almost here. We must stop doing the sinful things that are done in the dark. We must put on all the things God gives us to fight with for the day.” • What God do you serve?
Conclusion: • Live with a sense of: • Urgency • Eternity • Priorities
