God Quote-What It Means to Follow Jesus
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in John 12:26.
Jesus said “Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”
A close relationship with Jesus is the key to abundant service. There is more to fruitful ministry than having good leadership qualities, the ability to speak, and the ability to sing. Effective service begins with time spent with God in prayer and in His Word. This is where we yield our lives to God and dedicate ourselves to His plan. In our quiet time with God, we learn to live a Christ-centered life and find encouragement to press on in the faith.
Jesus assures us that our Father in heaven takes notice of our service in the Kingdom. He takes joy in honoring us when we live for Jesus with a pure heart.
John 12:26-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
