Romans 6:9
For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.
NKJV
If we live for God and not ourselves we can change the world we live in.
Jesus lived His life for God and the world will never be the same. He died, I died; He lives, I live. He went to heaven, I am going to heaven. He beat death, I will beat death. Jesus died once, for all. He changed all the rules. He broke death's back. He paid the penalty for sin and He crushed sins power over all who call on His name. Through Jesus, the warrant of death becomes a covenant of eternal life and pointless existence becomes a purposeful mission. Friend, you have been drafted into God's army.
Matt 12:30 "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad." NKJV
Let's join together to reap a harvest. You may have accepted Jesus, but have you joined with Him in God's mission? Does it matter to you that there are people in our world that have not heard the Word of God? Do you care that there are multitudes that have never heard the gospel message? If we live for God and not ourselves we can change the world we live in. A life sacrificed for God... your life or someone else's? People don't know because they have not been told and people die everyday without God. They may live down the street or on the other side of the globe, but one thing is sure, they need us to care enough to tell them about Jesus... and I do... and I will. Will you? Onwards, for our King!
Dear Father,
Thank You for loving this world. Thank You for Jesus. Please give me opportunities to share the gospel with others and please forgive me for times when I may have selfishly remained silent. Please use me to change the world. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Living to tell what He died to say,
