I read a great scripture today! One that I hope will encourage you, my fellow Christian. It is one more reason to live for Jesus -- another promise of the hundreds of promises given to believers. Here it is: "And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks." Hebrews 11:4c Think on that. Think on that a bit more. When you live by faith, even when you die, your faith still speaks to others. Your faith still can bring others to Christ. Your faith can still encourage others to hold on tight. Your faith still speaks for Christ. That's amazing! |
You, like me, probably have loved ones who aren't following Jesus Christ. You, like me, are concerned for their eternal destination. We don't want anyone to go to hell.
God doesn't either. 2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you,[a] not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."
Even if we don't get to see them turn back to Jesus, that doesn't mean our lives aren't still speaking to them about him after we are gone.
Thank you, Jesus!
