Who is going to fill in the blanks to all of these questions with relevant scripture? ___
The answer to most, if not all, of these questions is “I Am”. We serve Jesus Christ who is the “I Am” (John 8:58). We must realize, when it comes to answering the question “Who is responsible” for each of these duties the proper answer is “I am.”
The scriptures reveal so many of our responsibilities in simplicity and truth, and I encourage you to open up your Bible, find scriptures pertaining to each of these questions and see for yourself your responsibilities from God’s word.
May we not be so irresponsible as to overlook our duties, pass them on to others, or make excuses for ourselves. Rather, let us be ready to answer the call of service “Who is ready?” with the cheerful answer, “Master, here am I!”
