Luke 10:26-28 Responsibility or Privilege

“Jesus replied, ‘What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?’ The man answered, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’” (NLT).
Okay, that is our responsibility, but isn’t it also our greatest privilege. Aren’t of all our responsibilities also our privileges? Here’s a partial list of our responsibilities:
Thank God.
Love God.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
As much as it is possible, live in peace with everybody.
Represent God on the earth.
Minster to each other.
Gather together.
Praise and worship God.
Pray for each other.
Study the Word.
Discuss the Word with fellow believers.
Speak the Word to unbelievers.
Listen for and to the Holy Spirit.
Pray—have conversations with God.
Do good to all people.
Make God visible and alive with your life.
Preach the Word with actions and words.
This is a good list, but it is not exhaustive. Feel free to add to it. I challenge you to point out one of those responsibilities that is not a privilege. We are privileged to know God, and we are privileged to be trusted by Him to represent Him. What a responsibility and what a privilege! Be privileged today!
