Your role is very important
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthians 5:20 As followers of Christ, we become ambassadors of the Kingdom of God. In researching the role of an ambassador, I found that an ambassador is a resident and not a citizen of the country to which he or she has…

Jesus is in every person you encounter
Over the past few days, the Holy Spirit has reminded me of two things that I think are important to our relationships with others: treating others as I want to be treated and seeing Jesus in every person I meet. I bet if I could see Jesus in every person I meet, I would love…

Why do we need salvation ?
Have you ever imagined what Adam and Eve’s lives looked like before they sin ? We don’t know much but we surely know a few fundamental things from Genesis 2: After they sinned, their situation changed radically. We see in Genesis 3 the consequences of their sin : The verb “to die” is used for…

If it’s from God, it’s perfect
The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “ Look, the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 In this verse, John speaks of Jesus, anticipating his death on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. In the Old Testament, it took a blood sacrifice…

We are overcomers in Christ Jesus (1 John 5)
As we start a new year, I had a self-reflection time and looked back to the year 2022. I had my ups and downs but I also saw God’s hand, faithfulness, mercy, favor, and vivid presence throughout the whole year. Even though during my dark times I wasn’t sometimes hearing from God, I can now…

God’s love (1 John 4)
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love”.
