Right relationship with God!

KNOW Him
LOVE Him
SERVE Him
TRUST Him
FEAR Him
Some people will ask us, "who is Jesus?" & Most Christians will answer "He's the Son of God, our Saviour!"... As much as we can say we know Him, & how much we love Him when we sing songs of praises & worship, how many people out this category will actually serve & trust Him whole-heartedly? I myself won't say I am 100%.
Most people just play a role as a church-goer. But God's command doesn't end there. One has to be a DOER too. Speaking from medical students point of view, many will say that the amount of time spent to do God's work can be put into studies. Even an hour can be so previous when comes to exam's season. Some will say, "Don't wanna join the ministry, cause need to go back to church to practice... Need to study la! Darn stress!" But do we realise that we actually nullify God's greatness & His power to do the IMPOSSIBLE. As much as we worship God so passionately during service, singing songs about trusting God (can't think of any songs at the moment) , but do we actually "walk the talk"?
Jesus in His last words didn't say "Don't worry. Just come to church every weekend. & Make sure you study hard during weekdays ok?" nor did He ever say "Don't worry about the ministry. There are other people that are going to do that. You just study k"... Instead He said it CRYSTAL CLEAR in matt28 "Go & make disciples of all nations" .. But do we?
Look up on the dictionary. It says trust = Firm reliance on the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing. But is our reliance firm? The Bible speaks loudly about God's character, being the provider, who gives us strength & bless us with all our needs. Not that we can't understand the Bible, we just don't practice what we read. As much as doctors need practical in order to be a good, christians need to exercise their faith too in order to please Him!
1John2:3We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.
