“For there
is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who
gave himself as a ransom for all people.” (1 Timothy 2:5-6a)
There are those who don’t
believe in the existence of a god. There
are those who believe there are many different ways to get to heaven. There are
still others who don’t believe in sin or hell.
In Paul’s instructional letter to Timothy we see that there is only one
God and only one who reconciles man to God. Let it be known far and wide that
Jesus Christ, friend of sinners and the one true Son of God willingly went to a
cross for all mankind to pay for their sins once for all time. He gave Himself a ransom for many. It’s a gift that is to be received, not
rejected; however it is rejected every day.
As believers we must see lost souls as if they are walking a tight wire
over a fiery abyss, for in reality, that is exactly what they’re doing. They dance with the devil each day without
knowing it or being aware of its consequences.
We have been enlisted into the army of God not to judge, threaten or
scare the unsaved into repentance, but rather to love them into the kingdom
with words of hope, peace and forgiveness.
Let it be so. Until next time,
walk with the King and be a blessing!
