“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and
more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be
able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless
until the day of Christ,” (Philippians 1:9-10)
Sometimes it is hard to share what we feel in our hearts about
other people and their salvation.
The truth is sometimes the hardest thing for people to
believe. They want to believe what makes them feel good
inside, so they don't have to acknowledge the truth.
To acknowledge the truth means having to adhere to what
others say, and accept what they don't want to know in their
hearts.
The truth from God is always the simple way, too simple for
people to accept. To acknowledge God and His salvation
through Jesus Christ, means to say, "I am not good, and
what I have done in my life is not all good."
Then this means relying on God and His judgement, and then
"I am condemned".
The truth is, turning to God means freedom, freedom from
sin and condemnation. The statement in the Bible that says,
"and the truth shall set you free." means just that.
The truth of salvation through the blood of Christ, that
was shed for our redemption, was and is a gift from
God, meant to reunite us with our Creator.
All things from God, given for our good, are gifts with out
payment on our part.
To accept these things from God, at face value is the best
we can receive from God.
Food for thought? What is your response?
