Do you want to be more useful to Jesus? Most of us would not hesitate to answer “yes.” We’re reminded in Scripture that God is pleased to use disciples who are committed from the inside out. Pure doctrine and right living are far more important than natural ability and availability. The Scottish pastor Robert Murray M ’Cheyne put it this way: “It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus.” That’s the heart behind Paul’s encouragement to Timothy when he urges his young friend to cleanse himself, that he might be: “...sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21 (NKJV)
