Luke 1:77 to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins,

Do you think it strange that so many people do not preach about Jesus as our Saviour in church? I may wonder how those churches could survive when they are not telling us the truth about Jesus Christ but I know why some of them succeed.

There are people out there talking up a storm about how great God is and how God is going to make your life so wonderful and blessed if you will only go ahead and do something for Him or for the church group or for the pastor.

This is not about any building, any group of people, any religion or any other fad; this is about loving our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, for all He has done for us and the gift He gives us…

John 1:23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, ‘I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, “Make straight the way for the Lord.”’

Being able to show others that we are who we are because God has deemed it so or possible has got to be the only honest answer we can give. If we try to build ourselves up into something we are not we fool ourselves alone.

If we talk as if we are nothing, we make out God to be a liar. We are His creation and a temple for the Holy Spirit. If that is not enough to get you started then you have to start thinking again!

Get out there and obey God. He has already asked you to go… What are you waiting for?

John 1:21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”  He said, “I am not.”  “Are you the Prophet?”  And he answered, “No.”

What sort of position do you hold in society? Let’s face it, society has never forgotten that we all hold positions and each position holds other positions in very different ways, some look down at others whilst others lift them up.

God would rather that we look at each other for what we are – all His creation. Yes we will be able to work our way up or down the chains in society, be born into different positions and lead very different lives, but when it comes down to it in the end, each of us is a human being, created by God.

We should be able to accept each other the way we are and praise God for our differences!

2 Corinthians 4:5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

The Gospel is God’s Word! If we do not see it as God’s Word but see it as a tool to reach others with then we have lost sight on the importance of the gospel!

We need to be out there showing others the Gospel, God’s Word, ad not trying to be as politically correct as we can be and certainly not preaching about how great we have become even if we think God has done it!

This is all about glorifying God. Glorify Him alone!
