If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. (Php 2:1-4)
GOD calls His Church to be His body, united in mission and purpose. We are to be stedfast in fellowship and equipping one another to do His work and ministry in this world. We are to united in the bond of peace, prepared unto every good work, to take His Gospel to every creature, and be the ministers of reconciliation with GOD that He has called all His people to be. We are to stand fast in the faith, with a ready mind, to minister to those within and without who are hurting and in need, that as GOD provides blessings to His people and they give of themselves, others may see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory.
We have one work in this world, that GOD has left as His ambassadors to do. We represent His Kingdom to this lost and dying world, as we love one another. We reach out in love and mercy to those who need Him. We share Jesus Christ, as His body and members of the household of faith, to those who are without that they might know Him and the grace He offers to those who repent of their sins and believe His Good News and receive Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. We edify and equip one another in love, disciple one another in the Word, and engage and enable people to enjoy Jesus Christ, until GOD is done with us, and takes us Home to be with Him. As His people, we are His ministers, His priests, His saints, and His children, that we should live in Him, walk in Him, and share Him and His great Salvation with others that they 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 with forgiveness 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,
