Reaching Up To God

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His own, so that you may proclaim the virtues of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light. You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy.  1 Peter 2:9-10 NET

Wow, because we are His sons and daughters, and acknowledge Jesus Christ as the risen Saviour, we automatically receive mercy from our Heavenly Father. We receive Holy Spirit’s wisdom when we rest in His word, when we then proclaim this truth by reaching up to God in worship and by reaching out to the world with the Gospel.  Jesus Christ. 

Let us become God’s warriors, gatekeepers, watchmen. Let us rest with Jesus, around His table, in easy conversation, He tells us our purpose is God’s commission to save souls and therefore our paths are the roads He puts us on to be part of His salvation plan. 

Could you imagine the revival in our families our communities in our hearts if we walked with God’s plan to save everyone we meet!

And while we know that only God can save, of course, God uses us as instruments to share His saving message. As Christians, we have a salvation mind-set as part of our DNA. God sent His Son into this world to save sinners. And He called us out of the world with the same purpose in mind.
