This past Sunday I shared with our congregation the marks of the mission. Things that should be evident in a believer's life if they are growing in Christ. These are marks we are laying out for our people, but they are probably good marks for any Christ follower.
Here they are:
1. A growing desire to be with Jesus.
2. A growing desire to honor Him with my words, actions, thoughts, and attitudes
3. A growing desire to meet others needs.
4. A growing desire to bring others to Him.
Could you examine your life and use these as marks to see where you are in your walk? Many times as believers we live our lives with no way to know whether we are going in the right direction or not. Let me hear from you about the effectiveness of these and any ideas you might have for more.
