In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16, ESV
Our love for each other, care for others, and commitment to Christ will show people who He is, and they can only give glory to God if they are saved.
That means God uses you to reach the lost.
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him.
Nahum 1:7, ESV
Trust in God. When times are bad, He knows your need and holds you.
But trust Him in good times, too. Those are times to draw near in comfort and get to know Him.
For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
Romans 10:10, ESV
We can know that Jesus is Lord, but unless we believe in our innermost being and are willing to tell others, we are not saved and justified.
Move past mere head knowledge. Even Satan knows Jesus is the Son of God …
For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100:5, ESV
God did not need us.
But He created us, even knowing how we would treat Him.
But He told us in the Garden of Eden that He had a plan to save us, and one day He will make all things new.
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
1 John 3:1, ESV
Through Christ we are adopted into the family of God, for the Father sees His Son when He looks at believers. We know Him through the Holy Spirit who shows us the Son.
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
3 John 1:2, ESV
We should encourage each other and lift each other up.
Especially, we should encourage each other to strengthen our souls through reading Scripture, prayer, and communal worship.
