God's Plan

2/2/2007

 
Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring 
forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain... 
John 15:16a


God's plan for every Christian is to use him or her to the fullest extent possible as a "vessel of honor" in His hands*...
As we grow in Christ, and as our love for Jesus blossoms, we should at some point, I believe, come to an understanding that we've been called and chosen to join an army of willing and ready soldiers. We should be a well-equipped host of spiritually prepared warriors, who, with love in our hearts and kindness on our lips, can share the gospel with our non-Christian neighbors so that they too might be saved.

As the Scripture says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)." Thus, there is no one who has not sinned and broken at least one part of God's holy law. And since "all have sinned," all need a Savior.

With this in mind, therefore, I go forward into schools and on to streets to share the love of Jesus with people. I also walk through the corridors of this prison to tell them that Jesus saves.

I pray, too, that with strong faith my fellow Christians will seek to do the same. Yet in my flesh I am weak. Without the grace and power of God operating within my life, nothing could be accomplished. I need His strength at every moment.

D.B.


*Becoming a "vessel of honor" is found in 2 Timothy 2:20-21.
