By faith instilled in us by the Spirit God sees us with the sinlessness of Jesus Christ. Discuss some of the things that seem mundane but are to be done to God's glory. The Christian is to have God on his mind at all times. He is to observe his own actions to assure that no shame is brought to the name of God but instead our actions become arrows always pointing to heaven. The change from faith becomes more profound as it grows.
Faith creates a desire and joy in doing good things.
One of the best ways to do good is to study the example of Christ himself. He was completely loving and completely sacrificial. He was perfect in living to the glory of God. Measure the progress so far, and frankly evaluate the distance yet to travel. Copyright 1997 WELS Lutherans for Life.
