Romans 5:7-8
"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8
The truth behind this skit is intimidating and powerful. However, this skit goes right along with Romans because I think most of us including myself don't walk with Christ even in the beginning of our lives. As the main character has Jesus pushed out of her life, and eventually Jesus rescues her from the lowest, saddest most desperate place. In my life, Jesus came to me at a church camp that I got invited to. Jesus did not just meet me that day, instead he welcomed me into the family.
So many people hang on the fact that Jesus died for us. Of course, if he had not died on the Cross and conquered that grave Christ have no power behind His name. But the true power behind the work of Jesus Christ is he died for me, while I still sinned against Him and did not know Him. So a recent mentor of mine pointed this out because no one is ever too lost or broken to find Christ. Basically, Christians including myself discriminate and selectively share the Gospel. As I have learned Christ did not come for some people, He came for ALL people. As I found out everyone was broken and lost to Christ, but he still came for us.
Application
In the world today about 2 billion Christians live, work, and operate everyday. If each Christian mentored, shared the Gospel, and discipled just 1 Non-Christian a YEAR our world would changed drastically. In around 4 years, almost our entire world would be Christian and following Christ! So this week make a new friend and slowly talk about what Jesus could do in their life!P.S. Have a wonderful week, and God Bless!
