Yesterday's sermon really made me desire to want to sit back and take a longer look at the Book of Ephesians which Christ the Lord had the Apostle Paul write to the Church at Ephesus where Paul the first of many Great Epistles. God had never quite opened my minds eye to the Book of Ephesians as He did yesterday through Pastor Brad. It is my personal opinion that God had both of our Pastors Mark and Brad start this series of messages on the Book of Ephesians to not only open the door and eyes of Grace Church but to open the eyes of our communities where they may be. So that we will go out and help our fellow residents who don't have a church home see what Christ did or can do for them before it's to late for them and time runs out.
The fact is that we who are true believers in Christ don't keep trying to portray Christ to those we come in to contact with on a daily basis they will continue to think that there is no way out of their present situations and walk straight into the gates of Hell. My main point is this, If any of us who are true Believers in Christ knows one or more people that are not saved Now is the time that we need to get with these individuals and show them in the Word of God where it says the name of Christ like in Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth the name of Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved. The best Chapter and verse is John 3:16-17.
This is why I believe God allowed the Apostle Paul the opportunity to write the greatest majority of the New Testament because of experience on both sides of the spiritual fence, First being called Saul who persecuted Christians and then on the road to Damascus after God blinded him for three days with a bright light, And then God told Saul that once He got to Damascus to go find the Prophet Ananias and He would restore his sight. I believe that this is why God has waited for more than 2000 years to send Christ back to the earth to redeem His Beloved Children (Us) Because He has wanted to give us enough of an opportunity to reach the Lost and or those who have walked away from Him.
All of us who are Christians really need to work extremely hard to draw the lost people through out this country/world into a body of Christ Saved people that can help draw them out of their shells and help them see how willing and how much Christ can and will change their lives if they will allow Him to do so Right Now Regardless of what their peers might have to say about their decision to change their life around.
