Colossians 3 is a great chapter on Christian living. We can apply that group of verses into our lives and positively affect every aspect of our lives. One verse in particular, verse 17, tells us that whatever we do in our lives should be done in the name of the Lord. Sometimes we talk about how we apply this verse into our lives. The question to consider is, do we really?
Do we really live our lives in a way that we can say is in the name of the Lord? This includes every word that we speak, every step that we take and every decision that we make. The scriptures tell us that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God, but our life should be one where others can see Jesus living in us.
The verse concludes that as we do this, we should be giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Translation: While we are living our life in the name of the Lord, we should be thankful to God for being able to. This is where many people falter. The attitude is: "I am going to do this, but I'm not going to like it." We should not only like it, but we should be thankful for it.
Our Christian life should reflect a desire to live for Christ.
