I found a four-letter word in the Bible the other day that I thought was worth digging into a little bit. According to Webster’s dictionary the word “must” means something that should not be overlooked, it expresses necessity and implies being compelled to or requested to do something. With that in mind I studied what I “must” do according to the Bible. Firstly, I MUST be born again, in other words I must commit my life to Jesus so I can be in fellowship with Him now and
forever (John 3:6). In order to do this, I MUST believe that “God is and that He is a rewarder” (Heb 11:6; NKJV). As a Christian, I MUST follow Jesus (Mark 8:34, John 12:26). I MUST worship Him from my heart (John 4:24), I MUST listen to everything He tells me (Acts 3:22), I MUST be a servant (Matt 20:26) and I MUST be ready for the return of Jesus (Matt 24:44). As a disciple of Jesus, I MUST love God and others (John 13:34, 1 John 4:1), my love MUST be sincere (Rom 12:9), I MUST believe and not doubt (James 1:6), I MUST be patient (James 5:8), forgiving (Luke 17:4) and gentle to all (2 Tim 2:24). That’s a lot of MUST, so ask God to help you today to do all the things that MUST be done, and He will!
