Bible Texts: 1Pet.1:3-4, Deut.28:1, Eph.5:25, Col.3:19, Eph.6:4, Ps.24:1-2, Jn.10:10, Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13, Jn.15:5, Mk.9:27-29, Lk.18:1
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you (1Pet.1:3-4)
From the above Bible passage, the resurrection of Jesus Christ brings mercy to you. Have you falling short in your responsibilities as the man, husband and father? Have you also failed to do those things that please God? Does it seem as if you are stuck in sin? God’s mercy is available for you through salvation in Jesus, who is the perfect example of the good and godly husbandman.
Which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten is again (1Pet.1:3a)
The Scripture says this about the abundance of God’s grace and mercy.
I came that ye may have life and have it more abundantly (Jn.10:10)
Another thing that salvation through Jesus Christ does for you is to give you an inheritance both here on earth and hereafter.
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you (1Pet.1:4b)
God doesn’t want you to be rewarded here on earth only. He also wants you to enjoy fellowship with the host of heaven when you leave this earth. This is God’s perfect will for you. This is why you must make your calling as the husbandman pleasing unto God by doing all that He commands you to do as the man, husband and father (Deut.28:1, Eph.5:25, Col.3:19, Eph.6:4, Ps.24:1-2).
As the good and godly husbandman, you must understand that salvation offers you the opportunity to move from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of God through His Son, Jesus Christ. Giving your life to Jesus Christ by inviting Him into your life as your Lord and Personal Saviour empowers you to live the life of the good and godly husbandman. And where you notice any gap in your leadership responsibilities, the Person of the Holy Spirit shows you what to do to make amend (Gal.4:19, Philp.2:13, Jn.15:5, Mk.9:27-29, Lk.18:1).
Therefore, work out your salvation with fear and trembling in the fear of the Lord Jesus Christ.
