Let's Get Down To Business

Your main business here below is to first Trust to the Blood of the Lamb, and then Follow the Lamb, Feed His lambs, and as you have opportunity, say to those around you, "Behold The Lamb, and Worthy Is The Lamb."  Your very first business is coming to Christ Jesus through Faith in His Blood, or your ruin and damnation will be certain.

Your first business is with Christ Jesus Himself - Personal dealings with the living Savior.  Your first business is to get to Jesus Christ.  The main business a Christ has to do is tell the Gospel of the Grace of God to sinners who sit in darkness. The chief business of the Christian is to represent Christ by behaving himself wisely here on Earth, and as an ambassador, speaking on his King's behalf.  Lord willing, and for Jesus' sake.  Do your utmost to be the means in which God brings sinners to trust and praise the Lord Jesus Christ.

Simply tell sinners what Jesus has done for you - tell them of His saving grace and redeeming blood, and always be inviting sinners to the Cross.  Set forth Christ crucified in sinners' ears.  Make manifest Christ's Life and Savour with your daily conversation, have a good conscience towards God, publish His gospel, call attention to His Precious Blood and Atoning Sacrifice, magnify the Cross-work of the Lamb of God, and hold forth the word of life.  Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and Christ's Righteousness - let the supreme aim of your life be to glorify God.  Work for time as well as Eternity.

Make the Lord Christ your companion in this life everywhere you go, take Him always with you.  Ask the Holy Spirit to always be with the words you speak to those around you.  Flee evil habits, abstain from lewd music and indecent jokes, simply give up everything that grieves the Spirit of God, and follow after those things which make for peace with God, and the things wherewith one may edify another. Be patient, be kind, be courteous, in a word, be Christ-like.  Be upright at work, be kindly affectionate at home, strive to make those around you happy, live Christ, practically prove to this world that Christ Jesus is alive and that He is the Lord of your life.

Your main business is to work for the spreading of the Kingdom of God, to be continually shining the light you have, and wait upon God for the words to say to those around concerning His Son.  I need Jesus as often as I need a breath of air, or a drink of water, or a bite of food:  I cannot live off of yesterday's supply.  Wait upon the LORD for a good conscience, stand fast at the foot of the Cross.  Ask Jesus to purify your mind, exercise yourself unto godliness, behave yourself in private, walk in wisdom toward them that are without, and ever follow that which is good and honest.

Wait upon the Holy Spirit for His teaching, learn Christ, and be taught of Him, consult with the pure words of God, and seek to know the will of the Most High God, the Lord Jesus Christ.  Seek guidance and enlightenment from the Holy Spirit alway.  Abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, and follow righteousness, faith, godliness, patience, meekness, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Your life business should be to follow in the steps of the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for you.
