1 Thessalonians 5:8-11.
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1 Corinthians 14:1-5.
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.
... the one who prophesies edifies the church.
God, through Paul, reminds us, that as we journey through life waiting on Christ's return, we should do so soberly, with faith, love and hope.But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
1 Corinthians 14:1-5.
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy.
... the one who prophesies edifies the church.
And importantly, encourage one another and build each other up (prophecy). As we grow in love, we ought to grow in prophecy, through the help of the Holy Spirit.
Who is God laying in your heart to encourage, to build up?
Have a blessed week,
Sam.
