Do Things for God Because You Love Him: Do Not Do Things to Please Men

-

1 Pedro 4:1-5 Cómo quiere Dios que vivamos

 Por tanto, puesto que Cristo ha padecido en la carne, armaos también vosotros con el mismo propósito, pues quien ha padecido en la carne ha terminado con el pecado, para vivir el tiempo que le queda en la carne, no ya para las pasiones humanas, sino para la voluntad de Dios.  Porque el tiempo ya pasado os es suficiente para haber hecho lo que agrada a los gentiles, habiendo andado en  sensualidad, lujurias, borracheras, orgías, embriagueces y abominables idolatrías.

Y en todo esto, se sorprenden de que no corráis con ellos en el mismo desenfreno de disolución, y os ultrajan;   pero ellos darán cuenta a aquel que está preparado para juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos.  Porque con este fin fue predicado el evangelio aun a los muertos, para que aunque sean juzgados en la carne como hombres, vivan en el espíritu conforme a la voluntad de Dios.


Living for God
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit. 1Peter 4:1-5 KJV

God is Love 1John 4:16

Keep Your Lamp Burning

Jesus said "Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, like servants waiting for their master to return Watchfulness from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.  It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes.  Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them.  It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak.  But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.  You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” Luke 12:35-40NIV God is Love and Jesus is Lord in the Heavens and on Earth.  Jesus is the only savior of the Whole World.

There are six things the Lord hates,  seven that are detestable to him:  Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,   hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies  and a person who stirs up conflict in the community. Proverbs 6:16-19 New International Version  God is Love 1John 4:16 and Jesus is Lord in the Heavens and on Earth.  Jesus the Christ is the King
