Only What's Done For Christ

"Only one life, so soon it will pass. 

Only what's done for Christ will last."

My childhood pastor, Bro R Brown, came and preached at our church a few weeks ago upon Memorial weekend. He said this phrase was posted on the classroom wall when he was a kid.  

It is a stark reminder that our life will soon pass. It is only what is done for Christ that will last. It is the only thing that will matter when we stand before Jesus and give account for the deeds we've done, whether good or bad. 

This is the reason that the majority of my posts are Christ focused and Bible centered...

....not just the Promises in the Bible, but also the admonitions written within God's Word. 

Because many do not read the Bible. Or much of it, if they do. 

When Scriptures catch my attention,  I pay attention, soul search and ask God to help me to line up with what is written within His Word. 

Because ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,  for instruction in righteousness (right living). (2 Tim 3:16)

Notice it says: DOCTRINE, REPROOF, CORRECTION,  INSTRUCTION.  

Those are serious things and the purpose for all that is written in the Bible.  

I want to live God's way, not mine.  

Knowing there is....

Only one life, so soon it will pass. 

Only what's done for Christ will last.

So, live for Jesus all your days.

Because it's the only life that pays.

When you recall you have but one life.
