This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.
God's Good news bears fruit everywhere. God's Word changes lives.
Another reminder of the importance of God's Word and sharing it.
" 27 For God wanted them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. And this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory."

Colossians 1
ReplyDelete3 We always thank God,
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
in our prayers for you.
9b We ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through every kind of spiritual wisdom and insight.
11-12 We ask him to strengthen you by his glorious might with all the power you need to patiently endure everything with joy. You will also thank the Father, who has made you able to share the light, which is what God’s people inherit.
What God Has Done Through Christ, 13-23
20-23a God was also pleased to bring everything on earth and in heaven back to himself through Christ. He did this by making peace through Christ’s blood sacrificed on the cross. Once you were separated from God. The evil things you did showed your hostile attitude. But now Christ has brought you back to God by dying in his physical body. He did this so that you could come into God’s presence without sin, fault, or blame. This is on the condition that you continue in faith without being moved from the solid foundation of the hope that the Good News contains.
