There are three questions everyone must face eventually: Who is the one true God? What is He like? Is it possible to have a personal relationship with Him? Throughout history, countless people have grappled with these questions.
Let’s look at today’s passage. Imagine walking into church one Sunday and sitting in front of a giant statue made of bronze or gold. We might sing a few songs in honor of it, listen to a sermon, then take up an offering and lay it at the foot of the statue. After some additional music, church is over and we return to our houses. What would we gain from that worship? What assurance could we claim? There would be no joy, peace, or security in this life or for the one to come because we bowed down to something that is lifeless and unable to hear us.
When the apostle Paul was in Athens, he provided answers for the people there by preaching about the one true God. Today, as Christians, we should do the same because it is God’s will that every single person know Him (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
As believers, we have a relationship with God through Christ, but countless people in this world have never heard about the Savior. Do not be content just to live your Christian life quietly. Instead, find a way to share your peace and joy with someone else.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Matthew 19-21
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Are you finding ways to share the goodness of God with others?
