Acts 20:26-27 NLT — I declare today that I have been faithful. If anyone suffers eternal death, it’s not my fault, for I didn’t shrink from declaring all that God wants you to know.
You want to know exactly what Paul is really saying here? No matter what, even when the world was deceived, even when the pressure of the opposition was fierce, even when my life was hanging in the balance due to persecution, even when it really really hurt and especially when it wasn’t easy…I spoke the truth in love, so that all souls could be saved and not perish.
How hard is it to be a Christian right now? More than likely, you have experienced a few of these situations. Men, the word of God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, we cannot change it. We cannot add to it and we cannot take away from it. As hard as it may seem right now, understand its all for the best cause ever. Continue to speak the truth in love. Continue to plant seeds and pray for a harvest. Continue to love others with a supernatural power that only comes from God. The world around you may seem to be crumbling, but you are a child of God, an heir to the Kingdom of Heaven, and adopted son!
with love, dlp
