I Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Christianity is not a lazy man’s religion. Christ requires and his love compels us to give everything to Him. Beyond that, we are to have such a devotion to Him that the world around us notices. In today’s self-absorbed world, people who we don’t know tend to all blend in together. We don’t individually notice others naturally. And the same is true in reverse. If you go to the store, pick up a few items and interact with several people, those people probably will not remember you… unless there is something very unique about you. Some people have unique attributes that make them memorable, but it’s a bad thing! For the Christian, the unique characteristic ought to be our Christ-likeness; our willingness to go out of our way to help someone we have never met. We must work to be ‘profitable’ Christians that the world will notice.
Loving God – Don’t be a lazy child of God. Let your actions show your love.
Loving Others – Let others know the life that was given to you in Christ’s death.
