Witnessed Behavior

Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe.

1 Thessalonians 2:10

Reading:

1 Thessalonians 2

What does it take to dissuade me from speaking the Gospel of God?

What motivates my interaction with people?

Am I careful enough to avoid making myself burdensome to those I serve?

What witness do God and others give of my behavior?

Have I purposed to “walk worthy of God” today?

[The Scriptures say in 1 Thessalonians 2:12 -- Walk worthy of God]
from 1 Thessalonians 2:12

Complete

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.

Colossians 2:10

Reading:

Colossians 2:1-10

What is my role in keeping someone else from deceit?

What do I know about love and unity in the brotherhood?

How are love and unity connected to faithfulness?

“So walk ye in him” — how shall I do that today?

“Beware lest any man spoil you” — how can I tell that’s happening to me?

To what extent is my life “after Christ”?

What is it like to be “complete in him”?

[The Scriptures say in Colossians 2:7 -- Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving]
from Colossians 2:7
