Michael continues: As the prophet Jeremiah said, I found your words and I did eat them, and they became unto me the joy and rejoicing of my soul. Psalm 19 says, the words of the Lord are pure and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they then gold, yea than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
The Apostle Paul said, Let your conversation [your manner of life, your behavior, your living witness] be as it becometh the gospel of Christ. Jesus said, the works that I do shall you do also and greater works shall you do because I go unto my father. The greater works is sharing the gospel of salvation. We have been given the ministry of reconciliation to reconcile others to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore, we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. He has committed unto us the Word of reconciliation. For there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
We are called as ambassadors for Christ to deliver a peace treaty from our King from the kingdom of heaven to a fallen world. 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 did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Upon hearing the Word of God regarding salvation, there are four possible responses. The first is to reject it outright. The second response is from those who say, I’ll hear you latter about this matter. The third category is those who think they are saved but they are really not. They believe they will get to heaven because they think they are righteous in their own power. The fourth category is those who know whom they have believed and are persuaded that they are able to keep that Holy Spirit which the Lord committed unto them against that day (of righteous judgement.). According to 1 John 5, these things have I written to you so that you know that you have eternal life and that you believe on the name of the Son of God.
The Main thing is the main thing, that we live to the praise of the glory of God’s grace. For we are His workmanship, His poem, His magnum opus, His poetry in motion. We are His living epistles, God’s love letters, written not in tablets of stone or with ink and paper, but in the fleshly tables of the heart. The most important calling is to let your light so shine before men that they shall see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven. May our prayer be, “lead me to some soul today, and teach me Lord just what to say. To give an answer to any man or woman that asks us a reason for the hope that is within us with fear, awe, respect, and reverence of our Lord.
This is our mission and our great co-mission is to give ‘em heaven, that they may with us ever live to the praise of the glory of Thy grace, according to the power of Christ in us the hope of glory.
Amen and amen.
Your brother in Christ, Michael
And Happy Valentine's Day
