False Advertisement

“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. For the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you through Christ Jesus from the power of sin that leads to death.” Romans 8:1-2

If we are following the ways of the Lord, then let’s cling tightly to this verse.

“God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.” John 3:17

God did not send us into this world to condemn it, ourselves or others, but to glorify Him, worship Him, and to bring others to know Him.

God is full of more love than any of us could ever wrap our minds around. And when His Son is living in us, we too are filled with more love than we ourselves can contain. So let’s start letting that love pour out of us like a river flooding the lives of those around us.

We want all people to see how wonderful our God is and Savior is, and if we are always condemning others, or condemning ourselves in the presence of others, than we are putting off the wrong image of who our Merciful and loving God is.

Just look at it as false advertisement. 

Prayer: Lord forgive me for the times I have advertised You in a false manner, whether through my words, actions, and even thoughts. I want all people to see how amazing, holy, merciful, and loving You are. Amen
