Living for God

Hey pple,
Sorry for this late summary… been caught up with some stuff…eh mabbe I shld get one of u to do this summary every wk! *beams

I really wanna thank God that we could have cg even though there was so many activities going on that clashed with cg timing. Kinda made me think how easy it is to say God comes first before hall, but when the time to make the decision, it is so hard still. I wonder why.

4. Bible Study
What it means to be a Christian Part II
Had a discussion on another aspect of being a Christian: Living for God
As Christians:
We are accountable to God only

God shld come first in our lives (does He really?)

We make sacrifices for Him in our lives
- does this make being a Christian very hard?
- If so, why do you still continue to be a Christian?
- What kind of sacrifices have you made?

We live according to His will
- God's will is written in the bible, do you know what are His expectations for u?
- What are some of his instructions for us?

Bible Verse 1 Peter 4
1Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. 2As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. 4They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, and they heap abuse on you. 5But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Where else in the bible does it tell you how God expects you to live as a Christian?
