The Call of Salvation

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

For two thousand years a call has gone out to the Gentile nations, a great call of salvation. A salvation initially given only to the people of Israel but because of God’s love for all people he’s included us, the Gentiles. A call from God that includes peoples and nations to receive the truth and to depart from lies. For we live in a world of lies and deceit. Lies that have covered or copied the truth and perverted the way of truth, the way of salvation. Each and everyday the Spirit of God searches the hearts of all people to find hearts that are hungry for the truth, hearts that are broken and that are longing for fulfillment. The world has deemed that the truth, the Bible, is out of date and that it’s teachings no longer apply in our advanced and modern society. Yet, as time progresses we see a world in disarray, ever changing into a degradation of lawlessness, drug abuse, and promiscuity and lie added to deceit.

God is calling today to the hearts of mankind. A call to come and accept by faith the teachings of the Bible. A call to all to come and accept Jesus Christ as Savior, as Father, Friend, the Lord of life and heart.

We who have heard this call and accepted this great salvation have a duty and a continual obligation to our God and to our fellow mankind. That is to speak about this salvation in the marketplace of life, to share of the goodness of Jesus, and to pray that the hearts and minds of unbelievers might believe. We have an obligation to live the Bible before an unbelieving world, to at times behave strange and different because we are; because our hearts are changed; we've been touched by the love of God.

Heavenly Father, today your Spirit goes forth searching and seeking those who are hungry for the truth, those who are broken, those whose hearts are tender and needful. Teach us Father to be a kind and good people whose hearts are towards the lost yet may we ever be faithful to boldly and unashamedly proclaim the truth, the truth found in you!
