He Lives

 

If we are going to church for us then we have missed the message of Christ. The word that comes to mind is sacrifice; Christ did for all of us, saved and not yet saved. It should be our heart to gather as believers to listen and be moved to draw others to Salvation through Jesus Christ. We should be givers in all we do. We should focus on God's actions to draw others to Him. God does not need us to save but will use us when we are willing. 

 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Matthew 22:37–39

As Believers in the Salvation of Jesus Christ, we are witnesses to the Holy Spirit alive and working within us. We should be bold, confident, and courageous, overflowing with kindness and compassion in our faith. 

 

  • Isaiah 43:10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.
     
     
  • Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
     
     
  • Matthew 28:19-20  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

 

Because our hope is found in Christ who offers the Hope of Eternity, shouldn't we want that for others? If we say we love our brothers and sisters, yet we don't offer them the Great Gift...

Being a Christian is more than church, yet church is the Christian plural. We ARE the church and the church is a moving, living, and breathing spirit. It takes people under its wing as it moves.

I love and remember fondly the song, He Lives, that we grew up singing. We praise and serve a living Savior who's in the world today. He Lives! Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me and talks with me, Salvation to impart (to grant or make known). He lives within my heart! Now, what will we do with this?
