There is a lot going on in 2024 around the world. I get it. There are wars and earthquakes and on top of it all America has an election this year!
We know that tempers flare and everyone gets uptight in election years. Everyone has a candidate that they think will make the world a better place.
Let me cut to the chase-only God can change human hearts from dead in sin to alive in Christ. The right candidate will not change one human heart to alive in Christ. The right piece of legislation will not cause murders and robberies to cease. The right amount of donations will not alter the course of wayward humanity.
The Gospel is the good news for a reason. It saves men from sin and it changes men and women’s hearts from lost in sin to found in Christ! It is the good news that saves and the good news that sanctifies.
The Gospel does not promise to right all the wrongs in this world right now. Jesus will do this when He returns in His Second Coming in glory. The Gospel makes men right before God and makes men ready for Jesus when He does come. Are you right with God through the shed blood of Jesus? Have you trusted in Christ and that He died for you, was buried and rose again? If so, then have you told someone else about this glorious Jesus? What are you waiting for? And have you discipled your children in Jesus and to know all about Jesus? What are you waiting for? And have you discipled a friend in Jesus to know Jesus more and to make Jesus known to others? Well, what are you waiting for? Have you prayed God would change the hearts of your family members and friends that they too may know Jesus and Him crucified?
I’m sure we all have some work to do. Let’s get to it.
Let me encourage you not to fiddle around during an election year with political aspirations of changing the country and world. Let me encourage you to pour out your heart to Jesus and ask that He change the hearts of men and women, one at a time, and that we would be salt and light in this world of darkness as the result of God’s change of men. The great commission is indeed Great! God has chosen you and I for this very purpose and for such a time as this! Go tell the world! Go make disciples!
”The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation, for everyone who believes, the Jew first and also the Greek” (Romans 1:16)
