Being holy means being faithful in our duties.

As JC Ryle says about being faithful in doing our duties in life, “He will try, not merely to fill his place as well as others who take no thought for their souls--but even better, because he has higher motives and more help then they.”

Do you do everything in life to the best of your ability? God tells us to through Paul:

Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,

Romans 12:11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.

As followers of Jesus, we should strive to do everything well as Jesus did. Jesus even asked the question in Matthew 5:47b what more are you doing than others? 

So are you faithful in your duties as a:

husband/wife

student

teacher

employee

boss

neighbor

friend

dad/mom

human being

follower of Jesus

Think on this day as you are growing in holiness, are you being faithful in all your duties?
