Message from Scripture: 6/4/2021

 

Our message from Scripture today is John 12:48. “He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.”

 

By definition, relevance is a measure of how pertinent, connected, or applicable something is. It becomes the basis from which we make decisions and determine what is important to us, what should receive our attention, how we should live our lives. What is relevant in life can change over time, even daily, depending on what the criteria is for determining its importance. 

 

How do we make the spiritual relevant to us, on a daily basis? Heaven and hell are realities we all will face someday; this is what makes the spiritual relevant. The Day of Judgment makes spiritual values and realties very relevant, a priority for life because no right-thinking person wants to be condemned to eternal punishment. “To those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek” (Rom. 2:8-10),

 

Do you live each day for eternity? There is nothing more relevant than this. We should prioritize the spiritual in every facet of life, that we might have a genuine relationship with God in Christ, and that our soul’s salvation will be a matter of confidence. When we stand before God in judgment, we will understand many of the pursuits of life we thought relevant were actually irrelevant. Make today, each today you have, relevant to living for Christ. Let’s go out and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and show the world around us how relevant, how important, He is to us, now and forever. God bless.
