One thing is needful

To sit at Jesus' feet to hear his Word.

Are you still busy serving the Lord that when you see other believers not serving, you complain to the Lord?

Are you one of those who keep urging people to serve as number 1 priority instead of sharing with him/her the Word of God?

Are you one of those who believes there must be a good proportion of Martha and Mary in the church?

Martha is no doubt a great server but to God, only one thing is needful. That is to sit at Jesus' feet to hear his Word. You will be in the best position to hear Him and know what He wants you to do. God is not a master for you to serve Him. God is the father that wants to impart every good thing into your life because you are His child. Christ must reign in your life alone. Not your works. God wants you to be like Mary, not Martha at all.

The old painted a picture of God that everyone should fear. The new has come with Christ Himself received us with an open arm when He died for our sin so that God no longer hold us accountable for our sin ever, for it was nailed to the cross and covered with His blood.

Is your sin more powerful than His blood and forgiveness? By no means. Don't let anyone teaches you that your salvation is not guaranteed because Christ has already paid your ransom in full. Even if you fall into sins, you will not fall out of His love. Here's a revelation if you haven't know: All believers still sins after receiving Christ. Be it the pastors, to the deacons, to the leaders in church and to you. That's why we need His grace everyday and where sins abound, grace much more abound!

For this reason, He came to set us free.
