1 Corinthians 1:8
He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be
blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:16
as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on
the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
1 Timothy 3:2
Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of
but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to
teach,
Titus 1:6-7
6 An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a
man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and
disobedient.
7 Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be
blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not
violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
Contentment
I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and
with everything that happens.
Philippians 4:11
What if God’s only gift to you were his grace to save you?
Would you be content? You beg him to save the life of your child. You plead
with him to keep your business afloat. You implore him to remove the cancer
from your body. What if his answer is, “My grace is enough.” Would you be
content?
From heaven’s perspective, grace is enough. If God did
nothing more than save us from hell, could anyone complain?
Having been given eternal life, dare we grumble at an aching
body? Having been given heavenly riches, dare we moan about what we don’t have?
