What a joy it is to tell people of the peace and freedom that is available to them in Christ Jesus!
All of us have particular needs, and the amazing reality is that God wants to meet these needs. The good news of the gospel is that He longs and yearns to supply all that we need simply because of the overflow of His heart of love for us.
When we love someone we don’t want to see them in pain or in lack and so whatever we can do to bring them through to a place of provision, healing, joy, peace and freedom, that is exactly what we will attempt.
But in God’s case, He isn’t attempting anything. Instead He has already fully finished the work, and He has 100% availed salvation, provision, protection, deliverance and abundant life. It is all there simply for those will receive it.
And here is the beautiful thing for Christians, pastors and evangelists: we all get to tell people, all the time, that God is able to save completely those who come to Him.
We have the privilege and honor of sharing the Scriptures and pointing people to the benevolant heart of God. As we remind people of the promises and declarations of God and His unconditional love, sufficient grace and overflowing generosity, not only do we get to rejoice in Him but we also get to see other people discover the beauty and majesty and glory of our great God.
So please, this week, whenever you talk, but especially as you are giving testimony to what God has done or what God has offered and particularly if you are preaching or teaching the gospel of Jesus, make sure to declare joyfully and fully that God has everything we need for life and godliness. All we have to do is ask.
