God's Love Post

WITNESS

As the message of the Best News Ever  first reaches us we become

transfixed on the Person of Jesus Christ and are transformed by Him.

We are no longer only bystanders to history or only informed about

 the most pivotal event for humanity. This message, the Message of Who God

is and who you are changes everything. This changes humanity and

it also changes your life, because your life never means the same again.

You and your life means so much to God that He came to rescue you

from vanity and futility. He came to destroy sin and death, so you can

live with Him eternally. You do what prophets and apostles have

done. You believe and therefore you will speak. It is inevitable that at

some point you will be asked to explain the hope that lives in you.

Likewise the Bible is not a book of law or history or simply an account

of events past. It is a living word of witness to the True and Living God.

It is all about His Love, for God is love. Moved and led by the Holy Spirit

Who inspired the scripture you are moved to declare the Living Jesus

Christ to a dying and desperate world.The Church and the Christian hear

the voice of the Good Shepherd, the Holy Spirit directs the Holy Scripture

to our hearts. The word that set you free will dwell in you richly so that

you may declare the same word to set others free from fear, from tyranny

and from darkness, because he whom the Son sets free is free indeed and

where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom, real freedom and ‘you will

know the truth and the truth shall set you free’ and the word of God can

not be imprisoned, it is like a two-edged sword dividing the joint and the

marrow, to reveal the thoughts and intents of the heart. The word

that proceeds from God will not return to Him void, but will accomplish

what it is intended to do.

“But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters

beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for

salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in

the truth. For this purpose He called you through our proclamation

of the Good News, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus

Christ. So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the

traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by

our letter.”

(II. Thessalonians 2:13).

AMEN!
