Serving God


Do you honor God everyday? At work? In school? How can you show a Christ-like attitude everyday? Are you living a double life?

If we accepted Christ in our lives as our Lord and Savior, we should be following His teachings and apply it in our everyday life. We can honor him daily through our daily works. I am currently a PhD student here at Kangwon National University in South Korea, how can I honor God here? In everything I do,  I would be an diligent student who will follow the advise of our professors and I will be honest in my submitted works with no plagiarism and I will not cheat in the exams. These simple actions relating to my current role in school is doing what a student do by honoring God in every way.

Paul in his letter to the Colossians in verse 3:18-25, he shared specific instructions that Christian households should practice:

Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. 

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 

Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. 

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. 
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.

It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism.

Colossians 3:18‭-‬25 NIV

Paul emphasized in this verse that we are serving the Lord as we do our different roles in the households and in our works. We should be consistent in being a righteous person inside and outside church. As believers, we should be a role model and embodies a Christ-like character.

Lets not live a double life but a consistant Christ-like life!
