S - 3:6 (The Message) The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I've been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God. They get the same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus. The Message is accessible and welcoming to everyone, across the board.
O - God never intended for salvation to be hard, inaccessible, or given to just one body of people. He knew from the beginning of time he would send Christ to redeem us all.
There are very few things in life that are "welcoming to everyone across the board", Oh how I wish Bible teaching and believeing churches across our nation were all this way so that more people would see they have the "same offer, same help, same promises in Christ Jesus"
A - I need to make my words and actions match up to God's message so that my neighbors and community will see God is here for all of us and we're the same across the board. Basically stop "playing church" and be REAL with everyone around me.
P - Lord thank you for coming for all of us. Thank you that your promises that are alive and real! Jesus, thank you for being accessible. Help me to live this out to unbelievers around me.
