...the chance to serve Him and to represent Him in a world where confusion and corruption and evil abound. A world where many are losing hope, and many don't even know what their purpose in life is, or if life is really worth living.
Therefore, what a needful time it is for those who know Jesus as Savior and Lord, to proclaim His love and goodness to a hurting humanity. And to provide them with words of life* and hope** to replace the thoughts of hopelessness and despair that has already infected and poisoned multitudes.
I want people to know that God loves and cares about His creation (John 3:16). He is truly a God of hope who wants the best for everyone (Jeremiah 29:11). And as a follower of Messiah Jesus, my hope and prayer is that many will be drawn to Him with hearts of repentance and faith (Romans 10:9-10). That they will find a life worth living that only He could give.
For according to the Scriptures, "There is no salvation for Jew or Gentile other than in the name of Jesus. He is the only one under Heaven whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
