LESSONS:
We can win souls for Christ if our manner of life is after the doctrines of our Lord Jesus Christ. If we deal with our fellowmen in righteousness and do the good works that God has assigned to us, then we can win souls for Christ. A believing spouse who is living according to the doctrines of Christ can convert an unbelieving spouse to God, so our manner of life should reflect the doctrines of our Lord Jesus Christ that we always listen to. Jesus Christ admonished us to love one another indeed and in truth. We shouldn't love in tongues and in lips alone. We should love indeed and in truth. When we love one another and do good works, then men will know that we are the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible admonishes us to love our enemies and do good to everyone. We should even pray for them that are persecuting us. We should do good works. By doing so we would be able to change them. Our good works will be able to convert them and draw them to God if we can love our enemies. Then much more we can laugh and do good to those who are not our enemies. It is important for us to always see the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. Every news that come from heaven is new to us. That is why it is a good news like the news about our salvation. The news about eternal life is a good news because we did not know of life after death. But Christ brought it to the Earth, so we now know it as good news to us.
We cannot see what is in heaven, but then those that are in heaven can see what is on earth, and those that are in heaven do not die, but we on Earth die. So eternal life to us is a good news. The Bible records in James Chapter one, verse 17 that every good and perfect gift come from God from above. Then we also learnt that humans die. But the citizens of heaven do not die. And the death of a man is decided by God because the Bible records that God has appointed a day for a man to die, it is appointed for man to die once. However due to the vices of men, due to their addiction to wickedness, then men can shorten their own life. That then those that fear God, God can lengthen their days and give them long life. Whenever we have opportunities, we should do good works to fellow men, because doing good is a commandment of God. And when we do good works, we are actually lending to God, and God, who is seeing in secret, will pay us openly.
