“I AM READY” Acts 21: 13

READY FOR THE FUTURE § Some things we cannot know about tomorrow or the future (Acts 20: 22; Prov. 27: 1) § Some things we can know about tomorrow and the future: whether or not we have a ready resolve to serve the Lord – “bound in the spirit” (Acts 19: 21; 20: 16; 20: 22 -24)

READY FOR THE FUTURE § Many, like Peter, say “I am ready…” (Lk. 22: 33), but do not demonstrate it when the times comes § Peter said it from inexperience, Paul from experience § Peter said it from passionate feeling, Paul from settled conviction § Peter said it from self-confidence, Paul from full submission to God’s will

I AM READY TO… § Accept God’s will over man’s will (Acts 9: 6; 20: 2223; 21: 4, 11, 14; Mt. 6: 10; 7: 21; 26: 39; Lk. 12: 47; Eph. 5: 17; 6: 6; 1 Pet. 4: 2, 19; 1 Jn. 2: 17) § Place God’s work over my personal life (Acts 20: 24; Jn. 10: 15, 17; Lk. 10: 41 -42; 1 Cor. 15: 58; Phil. 1: 16; Col. 3: 1 -2) § Suffer (Acts 21: 14; 28: 20; Mt. 5: 10 -12; Jn. 15: 2021; 2 Tim. 3: 12) and die (Phil. 1: 21; 2 Tim. 4: 6 -8; Rev. 2: 10; 14: 13) for Christ

READY CHRISTIANS § Paul had a ready resolve in ability and in attitude (Rom. 1: 15; 2 Cor. 12: 14) § Are you a “ready” Christian? Ready to put God first in all things not matter what the future holds (Mt. 6: 33)
