In My Name

~ 7 Things The Christian Does For Christ ~

Surrendering (for My name’s sake)  ~  Jesus said, “Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life” (Matthew 19:29).   

Separating (gathered in My name)  ~  Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Mathew 18:20).   

Suffering (hated for My name’s sake)  ~  Jesus said, “You will be hated by all for My name’s sake” (Matthew 10:22a).  

Serving (working in My name)  ~  Jesus said, “Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward” (Mark 9:41).    

Supplicating (praying in My name)  ~  Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:13-14).  

Sincerity (laboring for My name’s sake)  ~  To the early church in Ephesus Jesus had this commendation, “You have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary” (Revelation 2:3).   

Strength (holding fast in My name)  ~  To the early church in Pergamos Jesus had this commendation, “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is.  And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells” (Revelation 2:13).   

additional comment:  “There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
