What Does God Desire?
God our Savior, wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the
truth. 5 For there is one God and one
mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This
has now been witnessed to at the proper time.
اللهِ مُخَلِّصِنَا،
4 فَهُوَ يُرِيدُ لِجَمِيعِ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَخْلُصُوا،
وَيُقْبِلُوا إِلَى مَعْرِفَةِ الْحَقِّ بِالتَّمَامِ:5 فَإِنَّ اللهَ وَاحِدٌ، وَالْوَسِيطُ بَيْنَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ وَاحِدٌ، وَهُوَ الإِنْسَانُ الْمَسِيحُ يَسُوعُ،
6 الَّذِي بَذَلَ نَفْسَهُ فِدْيَةً عِوَضاً عَنِ الْجَمِيعِ. هَذِهِ شَهَادَةٌ تُؤَدَّى فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا الْخَاصَّةِ،
1 Timothy 2: 3-6
God
wants everyone to be ‘saved’. It is His desire. That is why He came down in the
form of a man Jesus Christ to save us. So how do we become saved?
If you declare with your mouth,
“Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
you will be saved. 10 For it is with
your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that
you profess your faith and are saved.
Romans
10:9-10
أَنَّكَ إِنِ اعْتَرَفْتَ
بِفَمِكَ بِيَسُوعَ رَبّاً، وَآمَنْتَ فِي قَلْبِكَ بِأَنَّ اللهَ أَقَامَهُ مِنَ
الأَمْوَاتِ، نِلْتَ الْخَلاصَ.
10
فَإِنَّ الإِيمَانَ فِي القَلْبِ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْبِرِّ،
وَالاعْتِرَافَ بِالْفَمِ يُؤَيِّدُ الْخَلاَصَ،
It
is Gods desire that You and I be saved and everyone else to be saved. You and I
have a role to help everyone be saved by telling them about the good news of
the Gospel. Jesus asked us to spread the word and let people know about
salvation through Jesus Christ. Two of the very important truths and messages
that Jesus told us are:
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me
فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «أنا هُوَ
الطَّرِيِقُ وَالحَقُّ وَالحَياةُ. لا أحَدَ يَأْتِي إلَى الآبِ إلّا بِي.
John14:6
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you
Matthew 28:19-20
So my friend we have a
responsibility toward ourselves to make sure we are saved and we have a
responsibility toward others to help them know the truth and The Way to
salvation: Jesus Christ. Whether they accept and when or whether they do not
accept that is the role of The Holy Spirit.
We all need to do what
God desires, it is not up to Priests, Pastors or Missionaries only, it is up to
each and every Christian. Have you talked about Jesus to any none believer, do
you talk about Jesus when you are in the company of other Christians? It is the
‘Great Commission’ that Jesus gave us. The simplest thing you can do is forward
these devotions or other devotions to someone, pray for them, share the
devotions on your Facebook page, forward these emails. The alternatives in this
high-tech age are immense. Let’s act on God’s desire as He wants all people to
be saved, let’s communicate in the method you feel most at ease with. Direct,
phone or computer.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for
yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Lord, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen us with power
through Your Spirit in our inner being, so that we can be saved and help others
to be saved. We know that this is Your will so we know that we can do it
through Jesus Christ who strengthens us. Jesus You said: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of
the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’
Luke
10:2
Increase the workers Lord. Sink this message deep into
our hearts and help us achieve Your desire, which is also ours as we rejoice
with The Heavens with one sinner who gets saved. Luke
15:7
God
we pray to You in the name of Your precious Son; our redeemer; Jesus Christ. To
Him be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion
forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves
youIn Him,
