Unspotted for Christ

What does it mean to, “keep oneself unspotted from the world”? James 1:27

To follow Christ with your whole life, using all the gifts and abilities you’ve been given to serve and honor Jesus. In your relationships with others, to treat them in the same way Christ would. To “love the Lord you God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind… and love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:37-39

After this we can pray to be used by God, and can expect to be used in greater ways than we could ever accomplish ourselves. “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” Ephesians 3:20 God can use us in ways we never dreamed for His glory if we ask Him to and sincerely want to be used.

Do you want to be used by God? Do you pray asking Him to use you? All you have to do is ask Him and He will use you.

If we desire to be used by God, Satan will do everything in his power to destroy us. But God gives us a shield, a shield called faith. “Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” Ephesians 6:16
