For Christ, for Real, for Life. π»β€οΈπ
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Believers in Jesus (The Way, The Truth, and The Life) must never fail to reveal themselves as the servants of the truth wherever they are. They must replay the conduct of the early disciples at Antioch, where the power of the truth they lived out promptly identified them with Christ. We must be believed; our body language must reflect what we preach. There should not be any disconnect between us and our message of salvation.

God can save the vilest of sinners. Saul was an unlikely candidate for salvation, yet Jesus chose him. This teaches us that no one is beyond redemption.
No matter how far someone has strayed, Godβs grace is powerful enough to bring about transformation.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, βO Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
17 If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.
18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.β(Daniel 3:13-18)

Matthew 4:1-4
β1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
John 12:24-25
If you desire to save others, you cannot save yourself

βWhat was that all about, ImmaculΓ©e? That was the man who murdered your family. I brought him to you to question . . . to spit on if you wanted to. But you forgave him! How could you do that? Why did you forgive him?β
I answered him with the truth: βForgiveness is all I have to offer.β

As believers, we are not to be champions of immoral legalities. While we may not be able to officially illegalize certain immoralities in society, we can refrain from identifying with and celebrating them.
