Selfless or Selfish?



And he died for all, 
that those who live should NO LONGER LIVE FOR THEMSELVES but
for HIM who died for them and was raised again.
2 Corinthians 5:15 (NIV)

After we receive salvation, then what's next? Christ died for our sins not only for us to receive the guarantee of Eternal life after death but also for us to live for HIM during our journey on earth. The question is, do we live for HIM or for ourselves?

Living for HIM means serving HIM
Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way:
       in great endurance;
       in troubles hardships and distresses;
       in beatings, imprisonments and riots;
       in hard work,sleepless nights and hunger;
       in purity, understanding, patience and kindness;
       in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
       in truthful speech and in the power of God;
       with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
       through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report;
       genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
       known, yet regarded as unknown;
       dying, and yet we live on;
       beaten, and yet not killed;
       sorrowful, yet always rejoicing;
       poor, yet making many rich;
       having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
       2 Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV)

Are you willing to give it ALL to God, being SELFLESS and not SELFISH?
God chose and called you not only to go to Heaven but also to accomplish His PURPOSE on earth.
The time is NOW-to live for HIM and not for ourselves.

For His Glory~
