What distinguishes my life from the life of a non-Christian?

What makes the Christian life distinct in this world?

It's one of the most important topics that we can address, and we're going to today

on this Monday.

Welcome back to the podcast.

And we're going to get there through another question.

How do I serve in God's strength?

That's the question that is sparked by 1 Peter, chapter 4, verses 10 to 11.

Who is sent to us by a listener named Jacob in Minneapolis.

Dear Pastor John, thank you for looking at my question.

1 Peter 4, 10 to 11 says, as each has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good

stewards of God's very grace.

Whoever speaks is one who speaks oracles of God, whoever serves is one who serves by

the strength that God supplies, in order that in everything God may be glorified through

Jesus Christ.

In my fight for faith and love and holiness, I want to glorify God.

I don't want my work to be in vain.

So my question is this, what does serving by the strength of God mean?

How do I do it?

And how am I to work in such a way that it is God's strength working in me?

I think this is just about the most fundamental question you can ask about how to live the

distinctively Christian life.
