I think it is a wonderful time to be the Church of Jesus. What a great time to live out the meaning of the Gospel. What a great time to be alive in the power of the Holy Spirit. What a great time to be faithful to the visions and dreams of God for His Church. What a great time to live transformed and transforming lives.
In the end, isn’t being a Christian simply living for Jesus one moment at a time. Hundreds of books have been written on how to touch our world for Christ. Thousands of Websites are out there in cyber space telling us how to touch our world for Christ. Scores of monthly magazines tell us how to touch our world for Christ. I suppose we need all these sources but I think we’re living in an age of sensory overload, too. I believe the best way for Christians to touch their world for Christ is simply to go and be Christian.
The Bible says that God’s “divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence” (2 Pet. 1:3, NASB). I’m not smart enough to know how to improve on this. I am smart enough to know not even to try.
In Christ we have everything we need to live for God in the world around us. As we live in Him, by faith, seeking to glorify His Name, God creates in our midst a people who are rendered useful and fruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 1:5-8).
The folks around us are going about their daily lives, and the grace and love of God are flowing like a river. What a wonderful time to live For God. What a wonderful time to live out the meaning of the GOOD NEWS.
