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.
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،
Romans
10:9-10
It
is God’s desire that You and I be saved and everyone else to be saved. You and
I have a role to help everyone know 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
فَاذهَبُوا، وَتَلمِذُوا
جَمِيعَ أُمَمِ الأرْضِ، وَعَمِّدوهُمْ بِاسْمِ الآبِ وَالابْنِ وَالرُّوحِ
القُدُسِ، 20 وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ أنْ يُطِيعُوا كُلَّ ما أوصَيتُكُمْ بِهِ.
Matthew 28:19-20
So my friend we have a
responsibility toward ourselves to accept the gift of Salvation offered to us
by the grace of God 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 just up to Priests, Pastors or Missionaries only,
it is up to each and every Christian. Have you talked about Jesus to any
nonbeliever, 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, communicate in the method you feel most at ease
with. Direct, phone, tablet, or computer.
I invite you to repeat the
following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power
through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can help others know about
salvation through Jesus Christ. I know that this is Your will and I know that I
can do it through Jesus Christ who strengthens me. Lord, please sink this
message deep into my heart and help me achieve Your desire. Thank You Father
God for Your unfailing, inseparable, deep and everlasting love for me, Your
abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. God, I pray to You in the name of Your precious Son my
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the
majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
