And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I AM the LORD. Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. And they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from Me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. And they shall know that I AM the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. (Ezekiel 6:7-10)
Until then, the Church has the responsibility to be salt and light to this lost and dying world. We are called, commanded, and commissioned to preach the Truth of GOD's Word with Authority, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and His sacrificial offering on the Cross of Calvary, and to teach the nations all of what Jesus taught us. We are to continue in daily discipleship with the Master, and learn of Him. We are to prayerfully and continually study His Word that we may rightly divide the Scriptures. And we are to love one another that the world may know of Him through us. It is not an option, and He will give us the strength to obey, if we seek Him.
While we who have been forgiven are free, those that don't know Jesus are still under condemnation. But, GOD is not willing that you should perish, but wants you to come to the knowledge of the Truth. The Truth that Jesus loves you, and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He wants you to believe in Him, and be born again into a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Trust in His finished work and receive Him by faith, surrender to Him on His terms and He will accomplish in you all that He has promised.
Believe that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.
In Christ,
