Romans 14:8 NLT
If we live, it's to honor the Lord. And if we die, it's to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
Often we may think of honor in terms of honoring an agreement. Like agreeing to something and then living up to that agreement or honoring the agreement. But in this case the word honor brings to mind many other words like to esteem, respect, admire, defer to, look up to, appreciate, value, cherish, adore, reverence, revere, venerate, worship, etc.
We should be doing all those things. We respect Him. We appreciate Him.We value Him. We reverence Him. We worship Him. And it does not stop with our life here on earth. No, we continue to honor Him in the next life with Him.
It is not enough to merely honor God with our words. He desires honor that comes from our hearts. His Word say that "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me". And It tells us that when we delight in the Lord, seek Him in everything we do, and make choices that reflect the place He has in our hearts, we bring Him the greatest honor.
I was just telling someone the other day that we work very hard to prolong our life here on earth even though we know the better place is the next step in our journey. And that is life forevermore with Jesus in Paradise. But no matter where we are, here on earth or beyond we belong to the Lord and continue to honor Him.
