WHAT CAN WE DO?

Luke 3:10 (NKJV) 10 So the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?" 


     John calls his congregation to works that prove their relationship to the Creator. Hearts that are tuned like a fine instrument to play the melody which will give Glory to God alone. The preacher reminds his hearers that the tree which does not bear fruit of the life intertwined with God, will be separated and destroyed. "What shall we do then?" Is the realization of being absolutely without any ability on my own to  do God's will without God's presence. It is the cry of the soul without hope, it is the piercing of the life satisfied with self, which awakens to the reality of eternal life without Jesus.
   The teacher says, GIVE to those without, be HONEST, be TRUTHFUL, and finally, do not ATTACK others or COMPLAIN about what you have. Why, because there is ONE who can give life eternally in Heaven or Hell. That One is Jesus, The Christ, who came to show all men how to live in this life, Holy, for God says, "Be Holy for I am Holy. Without Holy living no man will produce the fruit of righteousness, that is the evidence of a saved life. Trust the One who can give you eternal life in Heaven.

Heavenly Father let us see your Grace so clearly that we too will ask "What shall I do," to be saved and do the works of God. Let us trust completely in You with our whole life, that we might be found faithfully producing the fruit of righteousness. Amen
