WHAT IS YOUR LIFE?: HOPE, HELP & HEART
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. What Is Your Life?
a) James asks, “What is your life?” (James 4:14). There's not a lot of realism about life. The nature of life on this earth is fairly evident, yet people live life as though it were far different to the reality.
James 4:13-17
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
2. Hope, Help And Heart
a) You may enjoy this life, or you may hate it. But if you live the Christian life "hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5).
b) That hope is not in the things of this world, but in the world where Christ now lives and from where he sent the Holy Spirit to be our helper and comforter.
c) Let your heart be filled with love for God and the hope of heaven, and let God help you endure this short life. Live by this help; live by this hope; live by this heart.
