Stand perfect and complete in all the will of GOD

Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Withal praying also for us, that GOD would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. (Col 4:1-6)

     Christians in authority should remember who they serve, not conforming to this world or its models, but following our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us. Those in the Church have a model in Christ and He has given us His Word, to know Him and His ways which are above our ways, and His thoughts which are above ours. We are to make Him known both through our actions and our speech, especially to those who don't know Christ, that our time sojourning here in this sinful and broken world is well spent.

    We are always to represent the one who has redeemed us from our sin because of our repentance and faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, in word and deed, for He is our Lord and Master. We ought to know His Word, to speak the Truth in love, and be ready always to give an answer to every man of the hope that is in us, with meekness and fear. We must always have a sense of urgency, for the Lord shall return for His own, and to judge this lost and dying world, and we don't know when that is.

     Until that day, we serve Him in ministry and missions as His ambassadors, we love one another in discipleship and fellowship as His body, and we preach the Gospel as His ministers of reconciliation. We show His love to others who are hurting and in need, that they might see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. We disciple one another in His Word and love one another as He loved us for we are members one of another. We take His Good News, and as we go, share the message of forgiveness through repentance and justification with the Father through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, in the power of the the Holy Spirit, that those who believe 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,
