Word of God Online From The Living Bible

1 Peter 4  verse 18

If the righteous are barely saved, what chance will the Godless have?

As we go through our Christian walk, we are called to mature as Christians and to move towards begin more Christ like. This is serious work and comes with consequences and trials almost every step of the way. Our faith needs to be refined like Gold. But our value to God is much more than any stockpile of gold. Do you believe that?

One of the biggest calls we have as Christians is to walk in Love. It is so evident in our world today that there is a serious lack of this love for one another. Last night when I was driving home late at night, I came to a toll booth, it was around 1am in the morning in Maine (not alot of traffic in my neck of the woods at 1 am). And some guy had made the mistake of going in a closed lane when going through the toll booth. As I pulled up to the lady to give her my toll, the man in the car who had gone through the wrong one, was walking over to pay the lady his toll. Instead of her taking the money, she told him to get back in his car and back up and go through a lane that was open and then looked at me and rolled her eyes like as if to say…”What an idiot!”…Being called a fool or idiot is one of the worst things we can call someone.

The Holy spirit rose up in me, and I did not listen or follow the instructions to tell this woman to walk in love. I knew I should of 10 seconds after pulling out, I had missed an opportunity to share my love with her. These little opportunities rise up each and every day. As Christians we are called to love one another, and I am not talking about just Christians loving Christians….

1 Peter 4 ..Vs 7… The End of the world is coming soon. Therefore be earnest, thoughful men of prayer. MOST IMPORTANT of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love makes up for many of your faults.

WOW…the importance of Love in our lives…

It goes on to say…

Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay for the night. (don’t think he is talking about friends that live around us)

We, as Christians are called to love and love deeply all people. When I saw this woman last night be harsh to the man who was trying to do the right thing, it really made me sad.

What Chance will the Godless Have?

It is heartbreaking that many do not know or purposely push God out of their lives and ignore what is inevitable. We will all stand before God and be judged for how we have lived our lives.

Remember, we are Christians and we are barely saved. What Chance will the Godless have?

So how do we deal with this as Christians? How can we help?

We walk in Love!  We model love in a loveless life and surroundings. We bring light into our day where darkness prevails. We are the warriors of Christ who  bear the burden of the cross with Christ. We take up our cross and mature as Christians to become more Christ like and walk in Love in all situations we face. We must show and exult GOD in our lives if others are to see us as “Different”.

The World has its ways, and there is no question the world is spinning out of control. We have a chance to shine amongst the Godless and walk in love and mercy and kindness.

Remember to Walk in Love in all situations, This love from God will never fail you!
