Have you thought about the fact that giving generously from what God has blessed you is a cooperation with other believers and a cooperation with God to see his work continue? Even further, have you thought about all your intended plans, thoughts, and work as being the same, a cooperation with the Creator of the Universe where He allows us the privilege of being a part of His will and purposes in this world. This is exactly how Paul sees everything. The truth is our life being in line with God's purposes is the very thing that brings meaning. We live, we serve, we give, and we lead in the grace of our Lord and for his purposes and glory alone, otherwise we will only find a thin and shallow purpose for our existence. There were many reasons why Paul would have been justified in leaving Ephesus. Just like there are many reasons why the churches in Corinth and Galatia might not give to the saints, yet it was the leading and will of God that won the day in both cases. Let us trust in the Lord and his plans as we daily surrender our lives to his work alone. Let us unite with each other as brothers and sisters around this holding each other up and encouraging one another towards godliness. May the grace of our Lord guide us and bless us until Christ comes to take us home to be with Him.

It was necessary for Christ to come to earth. It was necessary for Christ to live and to die on the cross. It was necessary for him to be buried and rise again. We have no chance without Him. Following Jesus Christ as a disciple ultimately means we follow him in the resurrection as well. We follow Him into His Kingdom and will live with Him for all eternity. Our living soul is altogether different from our fleshly body, while they both are wonderfully and fearfully made in the image of God, and for that reason alone, deserving of high respect and honor, our body of flesh and blood is deteriorating day by day, moment by moment. Indeed, the entire universe around us is dying every day, yet the soul lives on forever without the effects of death and decay touching it. For those who trust in the saving work of Christ by faith, those who honor Him as Lord and Savior, and believe every bit of who He says He is, to these is given the right to be called children of God, and joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. However, repentance, trust, and belief are absolutely binding on eternal salvation because there is no other way to taste abundant life in the resurrection without being born again by “the life-giving Spirit”. We have to not only be born of the first man Adam we must be born again of the last man Christ. The corruptible and perishable MUST put on the incorruptible and imperishable. We will be changed at the last trumpet, in a moment, a blink of an eye, and when we are we will see the full victory over death and its sting forever!
