Dear Christian Believers,
God bless you and greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.
I woke up this morning and as I looked out the kitchen sliding door
windows I could see "green" starting to appear in the
hay field out back. It reminded me that spring would soon be here
and how much I enjoy seeing the green fields, the grass, and the
green trees again as they spring forth new life. Throughout the
59 years of my life our weather has varied from year to year, but
the different seasons faithfully appear, disappear, and reappear
again. This got me to thinking of the Christian believer and our
faithfulness. We deal with a variety of changes and challenges from
year to year too, but our faithfulness as saints of God should be
as dependable as the seasons. Faithfulness should be our domineering
Characteristic as Christians. The apostle Paul addresses the books
of Ephesians and Colossians to the faithful.
Ephesians 1:1
Paul and apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints
which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
Colossians 1:2(a)
To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ...
We should be faithful to speak the truth and to be good witnesses
for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Proverbs 4:5(a)
A faithful witness will not lie
II Corinthians 5:20 declares that we are ambassadors for Christ.
We should be faithful ambassadors.
Proverbs 13:17(b)
...but a faithful ambassador is health.
Why? Because a faithful ambassador brings the message of the wholeness
of God's Word to people. In Psalm 107:20 it says that God sent his
Word and healed them and delivered them from all of their destruction's.
One of the ways God sends His Word is via faithful ambassadors.
Proverbs 25:13
As the cold of the snow [brought from the mountains] in time of
harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him:for
he refresheth the soul of his master.
When we are faithful to deliver the message of God's deliverance
and salvation to people, we refresh the soul of our master. Let
us enjoy the new life of spring, and the new spiritual life that
springs forth in people as we 'faithfully" deliver Cod's messages
of healing and deliverance. God has given us so much and asks so
little, let's be faithful in the little He asks, refresh the soul
of our master, and glorify our glorious God.
Faithfully loving you in Christ;
John
