Today around 166,859 humans will face eternity some with and others without God. The message of salvation through Jesus Christ is simple.
Perhaps you have already accepted Jesus’ offer. We know that if we accept Jesus, we are children of God. Romans 8:14-17 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons (and daughters) of God. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ…
So you are a child of God and an heir with Jesus Christ. What are you doing with the power and position you’ve accepted? Perhaps you haven’t thought about the relationship you have with the Almighty, Self Existing Creator since you asked Jesus to forgive your sins. You should. Included in the covenant through which we receive salvation and eternal life is help.
If God has called us to it he will enable us to do it. He told his followers in: Mark 16:15 Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Matthew 28:19 Go teach and baptize. Luke 24:47 …repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations… John 15:16 …I have chosen you, and ordained you, you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
The fruit to which Jesus refereed is those we have led into the kingdom. In the NIV it reads he has appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit…
And the gospel must first be published among all nations. Mark 13:10
Acts 4:31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Today is a good day to ask God our Father to fill us with boldness and grace to tell others. We should all expect God to do great things as we share his love with others.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction…
There is nothing more important than telling people what we have experienced, what we’ve learned and how good God is.
