embrace, reflect, serve, share
who among you is wise and understanding? let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.james 3:13
not just the general public but also christians experience a variety of trials and challenges. every day, believers encounter numerous difficulties, and it covers a wide range of issues, including social injustice, poverty, persecution, modern lifestyles, errors in theology, and pressure to adapt to the present times from internet influencers, to mention a few.
as we embrace the lessons of the 2nd Chronicles in 2023, we now are encouraged to reflect on the impact it has had on our lives, on our service to God and His church, and in our sharing of the gospel, and all we have learned from the pulpit and bible studies.
the purpose is to exhort believers to christian maturity and holiness of life. this epistle deals more with the practice of the christian faith than with its precepts. it tells us how to achieve spiritual maturity through a confident stand, compassionate service, careful speech, contrite submission, and concerned sharing. it deals with every area of a christian’s life: what he is, what he does, what he says, what he feels, and what he has.
