3 Responsibilities of Every Christian

by Daniel N Brown

Every Christian person has many responsibilities, but there
are three that really stand out.

1. Control Our Thoughts

The human mind is so powerful that it attracts to it what it focuses on. If we focus on our blessings, more blessings will come. But, if we focus on the things that seem to be wrong in our lives, guess what we will attract? That's right, more of the same!

Since whatever we focus on becomes magnified and attracted
to us, we must take great caring in controlling our
thoughts! Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks, so is he."

2. Believe

Jesus said to only believe, for all things are possible to
him who believes (Mark 9:23).

As He did His part on the cross by dying for us and giving
us life abundantly, we are required do our part. What is our part? To only believe! To believe what? That He is God, and that He is faithful to His Word. And, to believe that He is who He says He is and He will do what He says He will do.

We are to be believers, not achievers. That's why we should
not to be frustrated all the time, running around trying to
do things only God can do. We are to cast all of our care
upon Him for He cares for us (I Peter 5:7).

3. Be a Blessing

Being a Christian is about serving and being a blessing to
others. When we serve and bless others, we are serving and
blessing Jesus! In Matthew 25:40, Jesus said, "Inasmuch as
you have done it unto one of the least of these you have
done it unto me."

Nothing gives a person more joy than being a blessing to
someone else. When we are a blessing we become blessed
ourselves!

Jesus said in Luke 6:38, "Give and it shall be given unto
you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and
running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the
same measure that you give, it shall be measured to you
again."

So we should work with our hands that we may have something
to give to him who has need (Ephesians 4:28). 1 Thessalonians 4
says, "Increase more and more, aspire to lead a quiet life, mind your own business, work with your own hands, walk properly toward those who are outside, and lack nothing."

Conclusion

There are many responsibilities for every Christian, but
these three are vital to living the quality of life God
wants for each of us.
