I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. (Job 32:7-9)
We are to search the Scriptures which speak of Christ. From the first promise of the Saviour who will redeem all who come to Him in faith, to the last soul saved by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, the Scriptures reveal Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, Creator, Redeemer, and King. It also reveals those who walked with GOD by faith in Him and were accounted righteous, from Abel who brought a worthy sacrifice by faith to John who faithfully transcribed the Revelation of Jesus Christ and the consummation of all things. From the foundation in Genesis to the conclusion in Revelation we have His story; our need and His provision, the nature of man and the character of GOD, and his work on behalf of His people and His interaction with all the peoples of the world.
GOD calls His Church to service, as His ambassadors that we might minister to those around us who are hurting and in need, with the Word of righteousness and reconciliation, rightly divided and fitly spoken, and with the provision of GOD. GOD commands His people to love one another even as He first loved us, and disciple one another in the Word of GOD that we may be conformed to the image of His dear Son. GOD has commissioned His witnesses, to go with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to this lost and dying world that those who hear and believe the Good News of forgiveness through repentance and reconciliation with the Father through faith in His Son might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
