Amos 2, Colossians 3

Amos 2

In God’s judgment, I’m reminded that God does not bring judgment to us because we fail by the law. He holds us accountable to the law only when we seek to live by it instead of the provision of Christ.

Bottom line, if we live a live worthy of Christ, every law will be fulfilled. Not one would be neglected. Every command in respect to our relationship with God and every command in respect to other people would be fulfilled. Wow.

When our focus and reason is the law it self, we cannot succeed and in turn we NEGLECT everything that Christ was and is. We lesson the completeness of Christ. That’s like saying, “Thanks but no thanks, God. I got this one. Didn’t I do good”? How sad.

Colossians 3

Verse 15-17 is my prayer today for each of us: “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”
