I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one GOD, and one mediator between GOD and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (1Ti 2:1-6)
We are called to intercede, as the royal priesthood we are, for all men regardless of their role in our lives, that they may be saved and sanctified in Christ. Because of His sacrifice and offering for sin, the Lord Jesus mediates between the Father and those who approach Him in repentance and through faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. Though the preaching of the Cross is foolishness to them that perish, we are to keep at it, speaking the Truth in love, and praying for the Salvation of all we encounter.
As priests of GOD and His saints, we are to take the prayers of the lost to His Throne, to find grace to help in time of need. We may boldly face Him who is our Saviour, because of the blood He shed which is poured out for us, and we have received by faith, making us a new creature in Christ, and part of the household of faith. We are to know Him, and have His mind, through the Spirit of GOD, and the Word of GOD, that we might understand what His will is, lifting Him up before men that He might draw all men unto Himself.
As we intercede, we are to follow our Lord and Saviours call to missions and ministry, ministering to those around us who are hurting and in need, as GOD provides. We are to pray for one another and love one another as He has commanded and as members one of another while we grow up in the Word and in Him. We are to take the Gospel to this lost and dying world, commissioned as His witnesses, and as we go, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ, praying for those we meet that they would repent and receive Him by faith and have eternal 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 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,
