| Be the Salt and the Light to the World |
|
The bible reminds us that, we are not just being satisfied for WHO WE ARE now in Christ, but we ALL have a MISSION to do, to share the love of God to those you know, or you don't know.
And we need to teach, encourage, and guide people to know the TRUE LOVE of GOD. Many peoples have been mistaken the message of the Gospel, when they look at Christians, they only see how proud we are, they may feel a bit foolish that we called ourselves Christians but not to behave like one we proclaim ourselves to be. And we need to be mindful of how we represent Jesus in the world, we are HIS DISCIPLES, and WE represent our great God in the world.
Many peoples they see us, as someone proud, it should not be so, they need to see us as who we really are, we are SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, and we become His children because of HIS GREAT LOVE FOR each one of us, not that we are super good, but JESUS IS GOOD, Jesus is MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS TO US. So we are to be gracious and merciful, and to love others. So that they may know the true meaning of being a christian.

Prayer point:
Dear God,
I thank you Lord for forgiving my sins, and now I have a new life in you, Christ Jesus. Help me and give me strength to love and to serve, and to guide people to know your love. Fill me with your power and love, so that I may love and serve others. You be glorified Jesus. Amen.
