It's incumbent

  It’s incumbent

The apostle Paul writes,

“For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18.

People say that the Christian message is not logical. Why would God in the form of His one and only Son enter the world? 

My answer would be why wouldn’t He? There’s no rule forbidding God from entering the world He created.

Jesus however sums up why God in the form of His one and only Son entered the world when he said,

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.

The world we live in is degenerating into the abyss. Going down a path that leads to hell. We only have to look around the world to see this. Wars, riots, civil disobedience, governments putting people who disagree with them in jail, labour camps or murdering them. We have politicians around the world who are believing and propagating lies.

There are even men and women claiming to be Christian leaders that are not.

The apostle Paul writes,

“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,  treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

We are living in such times. Thus I believe it is incumbent on all those who truly believe in Christ Jesus to pray and reach out with the love of God to all those around them. To present the Love of God in Christ Jesus to anyone who will listen.

Please think about it.
