How do you identify with Jesus? There are many ways that people identify with him. There are many popular views on who Jesus is and how he relates to us. Just doing the popular thing is not always a good thing. Jesus wants a personal relationship with us. At and early age Jesus became popular among men.
Luke 2:51-52
Jesus was admired by men because of his wisdom. Jesus grew in favor with the people and they initially loved him!
How do we find favor with men and with God?
Colossians 3:23-24; 2 Thessalonians 2:4-6
If we work at everything with all our heart for God we will please him and find favor. What do you work at with all your heart? When you invest your whole heart in something you end up doing some great things for God! We don't work for men, we work for the Lord! If you work like you work for man eventually that person will let you down and we will loose our motivation. God will never let us down!
God should always be our motivation and God should be the reward that we are looking for! Jesus is our boss. He is the one we should want to please! Do I work as though I am working for the lord and with all my heart? How do you look at your job? What about at home? Do you husband liking your husbanding for the Lord? What areas of your life do you need to apply this to?
What about your finances? Do you give with God in mind?
When you work with all your heart, everything you do for God has impact!
1 Peter 2:12 those pagans are not going to praise God if we don't live the life we are suppose to.
