  and you're receiving this message because you
• 0:01
  opted in to be encouraged. I'm thinking today
• 0:04
  of Ephesians 5 .17. It says, At this point in
• 0:17
  time, it would be kind of foolish to not be able
• 0:19
  to figure out what God wants from us. We can
• 0:22
  do what is taught to us by God's Holy Spirit
• 0:25
  in His Word. by his teachers and preachers, however
• 0:31
  he chooses to make us aware. The fact is, we
• 0:36
  can study the life of Jesus because the word
• 0:39
  says we should walk as he walked. If you want
• 0:44
  to get right down to it, the very bottom simplest
• 0:47
  thing to understand is what does God desire to
• 0:51
  do? What does God want to do? Everything that
• 0:55
  God has ever done from the very beginning until
• 0:57
  today and all the way into the distant future
• 1:00
  is to have a right relationship with mankind.
• 1:03
  And so your job is two part. One, to have a right
• 1:08
  relationship with God. That is accomplished through
• 1:10
  Jesus Christ, God's son, who was God in the flesh.
• 1:15
  Also, to bring others to a right relationship
• 1:18
  with God. That is accomplished by doing good
• 1:20
  works. and by especially explaining the gospel
• 1:24
  and not being ashamed of it, for in it is the
• 1:28
  power unto salvation. Let us be witnesses to
• 1:31
  the God of heaven. He is the ancient of days,
• 1:34
  the creator of all. Jesus is the king of old
• 1:37
  and the king for eternity. It would be rather
• 1:40
  silly of us to be in a place where we still don't
• 1:43
  know what it is that God wants us to do, wouldn't
• 1:45
  it? God bless you today as you serve him.
