2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge
FULL AND PRECIOUS RICHES
As Christians we don't really understand how rich we are... amen.
So often we go around feeling and looking like paupers, when we have JESUS.. isn't that enough?
In Jesus is all treasure and all knowledge, they are hid in Him, he is
the source of everything we need.. Amen.
Paul was writing to a church that was being told that they needed
Jesus plus something else to be totally free and saved.
Let me tell you this, as a Christian you need Just Jesus. You need to
dive into Christ, you need to soak in his presence, all you need is found in Him.
Full assurance and understanding comes to the Christian when they are linked closely to Christ, they are comforted and to them is revealed
the will of God.
We need to realise that we are one of the richest people in the world.. rich beyond measure, we have Christ.
WHAT MORE CAN YOU POSSIBLY WANT?
God bless you

HEBREWS 12
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let
us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably
with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
SERVING GOD PROPERLY
Next to being a child of God through the redemptive power of the precious blood of Jesus,
serving God comes a pretty close second, it is a tremendous joy and privilege.
I often refer to this, I have the great privilege of writing and
now preaching and there isn't one time that I either write or preach, that the awesome responsibility of doing this lays heavily on my heart.
Whatever we do, whether it is cleaning the toilet or preaching the gospel, we do it as if God was watching.
We do not serve some vague being, who does not care about how we
do things, Jesus is perfect in all his acts, our Saviour Jesus was the perfect Son, perfect carpenter, he was perfect in every way.
We should serve God in reverence and in godly fear, but what is godly fear?
It is the fear of letting God down or of hurting his heart. We want to serve Him excellently in all we do, we must have the standards he has.
for me and here's a confession.. I am not good at washing up..
I sometimes have to do the dishes twice.. but I seek to do them as if
Jesus was going to eat out of them, we should clean house as
if Jesus was coming to our home, we should make the bed as if
Jesus was going to sleep in it and we should serve Him as if He was sat there watching us, which of course he is!!!!!
Why because Our God is a consuming fire
Everything we do in our lives, some of it will be stubble and some will be rubies and gold, some will remain and some will be burnt off.
Let's make sure all our service for God is of the ruby type and acceptable to God our precious Saviour and Lord.
God bless you
