Happy Sunday my fellow hivers.I hope you had a great day.I welcome you'll to my blog.
This afternoon, I want to share my view with you on what I title What all saints ought to be.
When I talk about saints, I don't mean those who put on dresses that are pleasing to people, and because of how they dress, people address them as saints.
I'm not taking about such people.I'm taking about those who have had a personal encounter with God, and that encounter has help in transforming them from who they were, to whom God destine them to be.
The saints are those who knows the scripture, and abide by it daily.Knowing fully well that their home is somewhere beyond the sky.Saints, do not think about the pleasures of this world, but everything they ever think of is God.
I will be reading from the book of Titus 2:7_17.I will be using king James version.
2:7 Show yourself in all respects a model of good deeds, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity.
2:8 And sound speech that cannot be censured, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us.
2:9 Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect; they are not to be refractory.
2:10 Nor to pilfer, but to show entire and true fidelity, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our savior.
2:11 For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men.
2:12 Training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world.
2:13 Awaiting our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and savior Jesus Christ.
2:14 Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and to purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.
2:15 Declare this things; exhort and reprove with all authority .Let no one disregard you.
The scripture teaches that being called out of the world, the saints are expected to be peculiar people of God, meant for His worship and service.
It is obligatory to all prospective professing Christians to be practical in their approach to the christian living.
Attributes expected of the saints on earth
(1) Holy: One who sees himself as a saint must first and foremost be holy, just as our Lord Jesus is . 1 peter 1:16
(2) Faithful: Faithfulness, is one of the attribute that is expected of the saints on earth.If you're not faithful, that means you're not a saint, but you're still on the path of becoming a saint. Revelation 2:10.
(3) Zealous: All the saints on this earth must be zealous in whatsoever thing they do .They must passionate about the things of the kingdom.
(4) Fruit bearing: This happen to be the last attribute I would deliberate on.Fruit bearing matters in Christianity.
All the saints must bear fruit, and not just a fruit, but that which depict Christ.They must showcase Christ wherever they go.
In conclusion, these virtues are indispensable as becoming saints, and failure to be conscious of it, disqualifies us from being on the Lord's side .Hence, the hope of going to heaven is meaningless.
