My response to Ben

“There’s a call to answer. A call to minister the gospel and to lead men in the way of truth. A call to walk not as a fool, but as wise and understanding of the will of God for the times I am in”. This is very true, but we must be guided by the words of Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:27, when he said” But I keep under my body and bring it into subjection lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” The context is, Paul failing to obtain his goal of winning others, not somehow earning salvation. Paul recognizes that even he can be disqualified from his prize (The runner in a race is disqualified for running off the course, either intentionally or through ignorance) This simply means that we should strive not to be disqualified from receiving a reward at the judgment seat of Christ where our lives and work will be judged.
Every one of us must be on the watch for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We must prepare for his coming by. Living a holy life, preparing our hearts, and living life as if today is the day.
