For GOD so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For GOD sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth Truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in GOD. (Joh 3:16-21)
There is so much trouble in this broken and sinful world because we broke it, when we rebelled in sIn against GOD by Adam's sIn. We told GOD we wanted to be wise and have a world we could run without Him, and the consequences of that decision have been devastating. Those that are lost, want to stay in darkness, though because of the blindness which is upon them by the god of this world and his ministers masquerading as ministers of light, they don't know the darkness they are in. We are called to be salt and light that those who do not know our Saviour Jesus Christ, may see there sIn, and their need of Him and turn to GOD for Salvation.
In every thing we, as His ambassadors, do for Him, we are to reflect Him and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. As we go, we minister to those who are hurting and show them their need of Jesus Christ. As we go, we disciple one another in the Word, so we grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and are prepared to answer every man that asketh us a reason of the hope that is in us, with meekness and fear. As we go, we take the Gospel with us, living the Gospel we preach, and telling all who will hear of His grace and mercy, and His judgment to, that those who repent 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,
