John 3:16-17
16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. (NLT)
Salvation is based in love. If we do not love how then can we share our faith? It would be empty. If we look down on others how can we honestly share Christ? The world is already condemned and we too were condemned and we were saved through the love of Jesus Christ; therefore we are to love as Christ loves us.
God loves His creation so much that He sent His only Son to die for you personally and for everyone He created who believes. God did not exclude anyone but has called everyone. Sadly, not everyone will come. We do not know who will come but we are to share with everyone for this is what God has called us to do. We are to share as Jesus shared His life with others. Jesus did not come into this world to condemn it, but to save it. We are still in this world so we are to continue to share our lives with others (unbelievers) and we are to continue to share our love and faith in Jesus Christ. Do not cover the light of Christ within you but let the light shine openly to the world. Do not be timid but be bold in your sharing for Jesus is with you always and the Holy Spirit will give you the words to speak.
Engage the Present – Create the Future – With Jesus Christ
