God's Heart

James 5:20 of the NIV says,
"Remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his ways will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."

Today, I was reminded how much God wants to save the lost of this world. I was doing my morning excersise with a christian show called "Rise Up! with Jennifer Brindley" on the NRB channel. The workout instructor, Jennifer Brindley said something so anointed. She said that God has a unique purpose for every life. She then proceeded to say that the purpose of all christians is to tell others about Jesus. Amen! (When you have somethin great, then you share it. Right!)


This resonated deeply and got me thinking. We as Christians represent Christ. We are his Ambassedors! So God's will is to share how Jesus forgives and reconciles us. We should share how we are new creations through Him. This can be the only purpose in living: that others may be saved and God glorified. It is radical, but it is also God’s heart. Christian men and women are to be like Fishers of men; telling others about Jesus.
Jesus has so many promises to lean on. He protects and saves us like a Good shepherd. His salvation and hope are richness to the poorest of poor. And so that is why we, Christians, are here.


I encourage reading 2 Corinthians 5: 16-21. It sums it up so nicely, Why Christians should share their faith. I enjoy reading this passage. The word of God is so living and active!

2 Corinthians 6: 1-2
As God's fellow workers we urge you not to recieve God's grace in vain. For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
