GOD'S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE - PART 7

So, how important is this mission? To put into perspective the importance of the role that we play, just consider the work of redemption. Think about what God sacrificed to save us. Imagine if you were a scientist and you discover the cure for cancer. You would immediately share it with the world to try to save as many as you could. Well, we have the cure for eternal separation from God, the cure for the spiritual death. John 8:24 says: “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." Every second, people are dying without the hope of eternal life. If someone dies without believing in Jesus, that person will be eternally separated from God. These are Jesus’ Words, not mine.

Romans 3:23 says “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” We need to understand that without Jesus people are lost. We need to understand that there is a destroyer called Satan whose purpose in life is to kill. John 10:10 says: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

There are noble causes in life, yes, a soldier puts his life in danger even to the point of death for patriotic reason; a doctor spends years of studies to help prevent and cure illnesses, but Christ’s disciples have the important mission of sharing the Gospel of eternal salvation.

Very well stated. We need to keep this thought in our everyday walk. Our job is to share the message.
