People Who Blessed My Life
Preaching the gospel of Christ has been my life for more than
forty-three years. Throughout those years I have met many people that have
blessed my life. My love and appreciation for these brethren is deep. Paul
wrote, "First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your
faith is spoken of throughout the whole world." (Romans 1:8) The people
that I speak of are brethren of great faith and spiritual strength. They have
truly been a blessing and an encouragement through their love, kindness,
support and faithfulness. Following are
some of those people that have blessed my life:
People
that love and appreciate sound preaching: God's word is the power that
brings salvation. (Romans 1:16) The word of God: (1) Convinces (Acts
People that
constantly show an attitude of love: God pleasing love must be a love
that is demonstrated. "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through
love." (Galatians 5:6) The closer our walk with God the easier it is to
love the children of God. (John 13:35) I have always admired, loved,
appreciated and been blessed by people that have an attitude of love that is
constantly shown.
People
that have a generous spirit: "...Remember the words of the Lord Jesus,
that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts
People
that are busy sharing their faith: There is something terribly wrong in
our world. People rape, rob, steal and kill. They curse, drink, murder and
molest. Man has a sin problem. "For all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God." (Romans 3:23) However, there are many godly people that are
busy sharing Christ with others. These soul winners tell others about the
sacrifice of Jesus and God's plan of salvation. Eternity will be spent with God
only if one believes in Jesus (John
People
that really want to go to heaven: There are some that really want to go
to heaven. This desire shows in their: (1) Faithful attendance (Hebrews
Thank God for so many of you that
appreciate sound preaching are generous, and evangelistic, and that really
want to go to heaven! If you are not yet a Christian will you appreciate Jesus
enough that you will receive Him as your Lord and Savior NOW? To become a
Christian you must hear the gospel (Romans
