Day 59/365

“… anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other.

God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them.

We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you.” (2 Cor‬ ‭5:16-20‬ ‭MSG‬‬)

Jesus was the most holy person on planet earth. Having said all that, he never rammed his message down anyones throat and so his holiness never repelled people. Rather the opposite - sinners, tax collectors, the needy all felt that they could come to him for help.

So the more holy our lives are, the more attractive we become to the lost as well. Surely the best form of evangelism. ❤️
