Hebrews 12:14 NKJV
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14 NKJV
The gospel of Christ is the only hope to all mankind. What Christ has done and has accomplished is the only victory that delivers every soul from hell.
Therefore, we who are the carriers of God's glory, His presence and His truth play a vital role for people to be saved, healed and delivered.
Our lives and reflections matter, our actions matter, and what comes out of our mouths changes things around us.
The God of peace who lives in us must be allowed to rule over us.
The power of God that is within us must be allowed to flow out of us, and the love of God that we have received must be freely shared with others around us.
We don't attack people with the gospel.
We don't condemn people with the gospel. Instead, we show them the goodness of God towards all mankind.
When people see who God really is, they will be led by the peace that surpasses all understanding to salvation.
The presentation of the gospel out of hatred, envy, pride and selfishness will hinder people from receiving Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
Hearts hard as a rock will melt, stubbornness as an iron will start to bend when their eyes begin to behold our loving God who did not withhold Himself to death to give us life.
We need to be agents of God's kind of peace and God's kind of love. The world calls peace that is subject to circumstance which has no power over changes that happen.
But the peace of God does not change. It will change the circumstances that come against the image of God. God's peace will bring everything to its knees, to bow according to God's truth and to His love.
We need to be aware of how important we are as His children and how crucial our role is for the world to be saved.
Let us rise up in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding and do not let anything shake that position we have received in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
