Speaking the truth in love

‎1 Thessalonians 1:4-5

Presenting The Gospel to others takes more than just a heartfelt conversation. Mere words about Jesus will convince no one of their need for God's Salvation. We first need the power of the Holy Spirit to open our hearts to hear from God and to teach us His way (1 Corinthians 2:11). Followed by a deep conviction that what God's Word says is true and anything that contradictory to it is a lie (despite how we feel about the issue) and that we transform our way of thinking to reflect His (Romans 12:2). Then we ensure our life and doctrine are identical as we walk in His Grace (James 1:22-25). Our Godly conviction should implore us to speak the truth to others but not force feed it down their throats. We have to stand firm in our faith and live our Christian Values out loud to the fullest. Now, May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His Grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17). Stay focused, you can do this!

 "In His JOY!"
