Verse Annotation

Verse 4 - God’s mercies and kindness to us are supposed to lead us to repentance; we are not to become rogue sinners who believe they will carry no consequences. 

Verse 5 - lack of shame and regret (awareness that you ought to repent - not condemnation)from our sin is an investment in wrath that will be delivered to you on the day of judgment 

Verse 8 - Pride and self-satisfaction are a perfect recipe for wrath and fury from God

Verse 11 - We serve a just God, one who only delivers justice and mercy, never injustice 

Verse 13 - Hearing the word of God and not putting it into practice does not please God. Only those who put into practice the word of God please him. 

Verse 21 - We are called to a higher standard than those who do not know God. We are called to live a righteous life, being faithful stewards of God’s gifts

Reflection

There is no institution that has been called to a higher standard than Christianity. For this same reason, much is expected from Christians; we have been trusted by many, given gifts by God, and awakened into an eternal reality. We cannot afford to be found wanting; we cannot negotiate with the enemy in any way. Once we declared our Christian identity, we declared war on spiritual darkness that forever aims to pull us down or compromise our standards 


We have been privileged to know of our inheritance in the kingdom of God; this is something we cannot trade for anything. We teach and instruct many in this path. As stewards, how much more are we called to keep these same teachings? We can’t be double speakers; God detests those who serve two masters. We will keep the path till the very end. That we may be examples of faith and consistency in the different spaces we sit in.

Prayer

Jesus, I ask for strength to daily please you, strength to walk in your ways, strength to keep your commandments, and strength to be consistent. I pray that you may help me to walk in awareness of the war that is raging, the war we have already won. I pray that you may help me to put into practice all the things you reveal to me. Holy Spirit, help me to stand firm in all situations, so that what God speaks through me may change me first as it changes others.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen
