We are all faced with dilemmas. Christianity teaches that so much of what we see in society today is wrong. And, if our heart and conscience is truly with God we start to feel it. We view it as a problem even if we don’t want to admit it to ourselves. The Holy Bible teaches that Satan knows us; he has been here and has been corrupting mankind since the dawn of time. You see, Satan knows your heart and your desires and will do everything he can to prevent you from being with the Father in heaven because he was banished. His radical, hateful, vain, selfish efforts had him kicked out of heaven and it is because God’s love for mankind that Satan has an uncontrollable hatred for us and because we are selfish and think we know it all he feeds on that stupidity which allows him access to our lives, thoughts and actions.
Here is something to live by: 1Peter 5-6: do not seek your own glory or the glory of men.
This will lead you astray every time.
Some people ask: “Why do speak of God and Jesus, why don’t you let people discover Christianity on their own if they are going to” or “What gives you the right to talk to people regarding Christianity?” Here is my answer and it comes straight from the bible:
The Power to speak comes right from God in Acts 8: “Be My witness”—Are we ready to teach others as it is asked of us?
When I hear someone lie about Christ or God above in an effort to facilitate their agenda, their hatred, etc., I am reminded of God and Jesus commanding us to teach and go out to make disciples- So, one thing sets the true Christian apart from people using it as a title or means of social satisfaction and that is: will you cower and say nothing or stand up and proclaim?
As we look at how Paul worked throughout 1 Thessalonians chapter 2 it becomes evident his characteristics. He was a soldier of God. We should all try to be like him in our works. Let’s take a brief moment to examine his traits.
He was tenacious because he was confident in God’s power.
He was committed to God and the truth of His word. This gave him integrity.
He was commissioned by the will of God.
He was compelled by God’s omissions.
He was consumed with the glory of God.
He was compassionate with God’s people.
Here’s the lesson that Paul teaches us: Be diligent and bold against opposition, be ready to give an account of the truth of God our heavenly Father and Jesus Christ our Savior, His Son. Above all, never be afraid for He is with you.
