Scripture Reference: ( 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13)
GOD WANTS US TO BE DILIGENT Ion our work and; faithful to complete it. However, in our self-absorbed, pleasure-seeking culture, it’s very easy to get side-tracked into laziness or irresponsibility. This sin is dangerous in the life of a “Born Again/Re-generated Believer. Beloved, because of the harm that can result: Relationships with loved ones go untended, the needs of others are overlooked, and our work becomes sloppy.
As Believers, we are to represent Him in our character, conduct and, conversation. Irresponsibility however, suggests we are unreliable and untrustworthy. What’s more, it wastes both the time and the gifts The LORD has given us. All of these things hurt our witness.
Irresponsible behavior doesn’t fit who we are in Christ. OUR LORD modeled diligence for us by accomplishing all that The Father gave Him to do, and as a result, the Father was glorified (John 17:4). some day we will each give an account to God and receive compensation for what we have done, whether it was good or worthless ( 2 Corinthians 5:10). If you realize you’ve been careless in some area of your life, confess it as sin some area of your life, confess it as son. Then ask God for the grace to resist laziness and pursue diligence, in Jesus’ name, amen 🙏🏽
