Fervent in Spirit
By: Robert A.Searles
The
bible tells us who are the members of the body of Christ that we ought
to be fervent in spirit. To be fervent means to be hot and glowing,
intense in our desire and efforts to use whatever gifts and abilities
that the Lord has bestowed on us to serve him, but on the other hand, we
ought not to covert enviously the gifts and abilities of other members
of the body of Christ, but we are to work together as one body, helping
and loving one another, and being not slothful in the business of the
Lord as we would not want to be slothful in our worldly business.
"For
I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you,
not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to
think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of
faith." Romans 12: 3
"For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:" Romans 12:4
"So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;" Romans 12: 5-6
"Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;"Romans 12: 7
"Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness." Romans 12:8
"Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." Romans 12: 8-9
Romans 12:8-10 "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;" Romans 12: 10
"Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;" Romans 12: 11
