GOD DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO PERISH

Good News Today

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

Friends, good news today says GOD DOES NOT WANT ANYONE TO PERISH.

Last March 20, 2022, during our Sunday Worship Service, I touched on the topic Christians Should Carry the Mission and today I want to make a follow-up to this Sunday message. I felt that with the forthcoming election, most people are forgetting to spread the good news.

The truth is, God is patiently waiting for the Gospel to reach the ends of the earth so that people everywhere may have a chance to repent. Spreading the Gospel doesn’t require fancy speech, just a simple and joyful proclamation of what God has already done in your life. This is how the Gospel will reach all the world—through one person (just like us) at a time! We just have to say, hear the word of God (Isaiah 28:23); believe that Jesus is our Lord-Savior (1 John 4:10); repent and be baptized (Acts 2:38) and we will receive forgiveness of our sin (Acts 3:19), and we will have everlasting life and we will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then we continue to show the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:21-23).

Friends, if we know anyone who’s heading toward destruction (friends, neighbors, or our family members), tell the truth about Jesus, straight from our mouth. It could change their life. Let’s all proclaim the good news John 3:16 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. Let us all carry the mission of the believer’s Matt. 28: 19 – 20 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.”

God bless us all. Keep safe.
