This is the third installment in my short ‘series’ about some of God’s incredible blessings to us. So far, I have shared with you some of the blessings God has given us by making us in His image and some of the blessings that are ours that are ours as His adopted children; this week, I will be talking about the blessings we have as His servants. Again, I cannot take credit for this list, but I was asked not to give credit to the person who shared it with me.
- We are servants of God
Being a servant of God is an incredible honor. Our world says the opposite, that it is better to be the boss, but there can be no greater honor to serve the God who saved me and who loves me no matter what.
- We are God’s friends
God is the creator of the universe, and He is the lover of our souls. He hung the stars in their places, and He wants a personal relationship with each of us.
- We are God’s ambassadors
The King of kings has entrusted us with a message for the world. If we don’t share it, who will?
- We are God’s temple
When we accepted Christ as our Lord and Savior, He came to live in us, making each of us His holy dwelling place.
- We are God’s royal priests
In the Old Testament, the priests were the only people who had direct access to God, but when Jesus died on the cross, the veil in the temple that separated men from God was torn; so now, we have direct access to God.
- We are Christ’s body
In the New Testament, the church is referred to numerous times as the body of Christ. We are all different parts, but we fit together as a body. If we would stop squabbling and work together, God could use us more effectively.
- We are being made holy
To be holy is to be set apart for a special purpose; our purpose is to serve Christ, and we can only be effective in serving Him when we understand who He is, in comparison to who we are.
- We have God’s spiritual armor
This life is a war, and God has given us everything we need to fight effectively; however, it is up to us to pick up our armor and become engaged in the battle.
- We are shielded by God’s power
Not only do we have weapons from God, we have His divine protection behind us; our Master has not left us alone in our fight.
