Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity. I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,) That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. (1Co 16:13-16)
Until Jesus Christ is done with and takes us Home to be with Him, we are His servants here to this lost and dying world. As ambassadors of the Kingdom of GOD we are to minister to those who are hurting and in need, as GOD gives the increase that they may see Jesus in us, the Hope of Glory. As His disciples, we are to grow in Him, being conformed to the image of His dear Son, through the Spirit which dwells within and through His Word, and loving one another as Christ loved us, so that others may know we are His disciples. As ministers of reconciliation we are to take the Gospel where ever He sends us, and as we go, share the Good News of Jesus Christ and the forgiveness and relationship with GOD that comes from repentance and faith in Him, so that those who hear and believe may 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,
