What On Earth Are You Doing?

You a gift
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God. – 1Pe 4:10
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. – 1Cor 12:7 KJV
You the gift
Now these are (some of) the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. – Eph 4:11-12
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. – John 3:16
God’s
For we are God’s co-workers – 1Cor 3:9a
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his Master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you. – John 15:15
What on are you for sake?!
“Then he (the master) ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver. To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” – Matt 25:28-30
“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?” – Luke 6:46
Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, each one’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each one’s work. If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only so as through fire. – 1Cor 3:12-15
The answer’s simple:
If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. – Luke 16:10a
