To be a light

"For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth" (Acts 13:47 KJV). There will always be opposition against the believers of Christ. Paul and Barnabas faced opposition from the synagogue leaders, but God, through the Holy Spirit, gave them the boldness to stand. These men were called and Holy Spirit filled and they did as God called them to do. "And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region" (vs. 49). Jesus has made a way for the sinner. He has made a way through this world so that each and everyone of us may receive salvation and eternal life with Him in heaven. Christ, our Lord, left His home in Heaven to bleed and die on a cross for you and I. There's no stopping this true love that God the Father has for all humanity. He has given His very best so that we may have life eternally with Him. God will not take back what He has given to us. What He has given us, has the power to change us, sanctify us, and redeem us. Once we were lost in sin, living a life spiritually dead, but God's gracious love has given us all a chance to come to Him. He has authority over the enemy and wicked spirits of darkness. There is no stopping Jesus Christ, for He is the Living Word, and His Word has brought victory and has triumphed over this world. Jesus is calling the backslider, a hurt nation, a lost people, back to Him this very hour. Arise to the call of God. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and go to the unbeliever, to the brokenhearted, and proclaim the Good News. God bless you. Amen
